We all have come to circumvent laws knowing that the legal procedure will take forever to catch up and lets honestly admit that we have taken advantage of this fact. Now the sealing issue those using their residential premises for commercial purpose knew all along what they are doing is not legally correct and perhaps bribed officials for delaying prosecution.Now that the Govt.has clamped down they must pay the price. How else can wrongs be set right ? Certainly the Govt. has a lot to answer and their systems are questionable but we citizens must also learn to live within the legal frame work and always be on the right side of the law. You can get away sometimes but never every time. The court should allow residents to file afidavits and give back their property and not seal them.
