NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the sealing of unauthorised commercial establishments in the capital till Monday, after the MCD moved an application citing notification of the Master Plan for Delhi 2021.

A bench, headed by Justice Arijit Pasayat, while staying the sealing, listed the matter for further hearing on Februrary 12.

The Bench had also asked senior advocate and amicus curiae Ranjit Kumar, to go through the contents of the MPD after it gets notified and posted the matter for further hearing on February 20.

The court by its September 29, 2006 directions provided protection to the mis-users covered under the controversial notifications of September 7 and 15 with a condition that they should file the undertakings to shift the business activities if the notifications and the Delhi Laws (Special Protection) Act, 2006 was ultimately held as invalid.

Earlier on January 25, the Union Urban Development Ministry too had moved an application before the apex court seeking an interim stay or modification of its order giving protection to mis-users of residential premises.

On February 2, a Bench headed by Justice Pasayat had refused to extend the January 31 deadline for filing of the affidavits by the traders.

Instead the apex court had asked the Centre to place before it, in a sealed cover, the background documents which led to the foundation of the MPD-2021.
