I am not sure whether you are aware of recent tussle between MCD and SC in Delhi.
3-4 months back SC ordered Delhi MCD to seal/demolish all illegal commercial building in residential area, demolish house/building encroaching Govt land.
MCD/state govt came up with there own trick and slow down whole process and filed couple of PIL. Now SC had appointed monitoring committee to supervise sealing process.
MCD/State both are ruled by Congress came up with another ploy.
Situation is pretty grim; it is affecting lot of traders and institutions.
Next step should be, traders and public should ask MCD, State and Police to return bribe money.

The committee has been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the implementation of the law, namely sealing of offending premises in terms of the letter and spirit of the court's direction in the matter of MC Mehta v/s. Union of India and others etc.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Even last Friday, the unruly councillors of the Congress-controlled MCD cocked a snook at the apex court passing a resolution extending the mixed land use in residential areas to 229 roads. All this happened in a very dramatic way, hours after the highest court of the land had thrown out the petition filed by the MCD asking it to review its earlier order on sealing of the shops in residential areas.
The resolution was passed even as the MCD Commissioner Ashok Nigam refused to bring the requisite preamble to introduce the resolution. The Commissioner did not attend the meeting and the councillors arm-twisted another official to participate in the deliberations, which even without a proper list of which are the "229 roads", passed resolution.
<b>And this is just an illustration Mr Home Minister. The dossier of their constitutional misconduct is bursting at the seems. The High Court has already threatened to dissolve the Corporation. You too enjoy such power. Isn't it time to use them?</b>
