It is good that the supreme court is taking a rigid stand on un-authorised constructions.There should be no murmur from any quarter since the occupiers knew that it is illegal. However, the court must also severly punish the Govt.officials who allowed the structures to come up and then allowed it to function as commercial outlets. Such commercial establishments are also coming up in residential areas in other cities where local governments dont care and allow them to function. Can the Supreme Court also issue an order restraining such activtities in other cities as well.

SUPREME COURT'S COMMANDS ARE NOT TO BE OBEYED AND OFICIALS WHO ALLOWED THIS ARE SURELY TO BE PUNISHED. EVERYWHERE IN ALMOST ALL CITIES IN INDIA CRIMINAL NEXUS EXISISTS BETWEEN CORPORATORS,CORRUPT MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS AND BUILDERS. BUT ONE THING CAN NOT BE UNDERSTOOD IS THAT WHY THERE SHOULD NOT BE SHOPS IN RESIDENTIAL ARAEAS?IF THEY SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THE AREA THEN WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I REMEBER WHEN I WAS IN DELHI ON A OCCASSION AND HAPPEN TO STAY IN HOTEL ASHOKA YATRI WHICH IS NEAR JANTAR MANTAR I FOUND THERE IS NOT A SHOP TO HAVE EVEN THE ESSENTIALS. ONE HAD TO GO TO CANNOUGHT PLACE ALL THE WAY.MAY BE DELHI BEING CAPITAL OF INDIA THIS RULE WAS FORMED.WE ARE NOT IN USA WHERE EVERBODY GOES TO MALL AND PURCHASES THERE. WE ARE INDIANS AND WE LIKE SHOPS SELLING DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.IN MUMBAI FOR EXAMPLE YOU WILL FIND ALL YOU REQUIRE WITHIN YOUR VICINITY RIGHT FROM BARBER TO SWEET SHOP TO PANWALLAH AND WHAT NOT. -P.D.KULKARNI

The other side would be of using residential premises for commercial purpose.... which is not allowed anywhere in India and abroad as well.....This might be the cause of such rule in delhi .... but if rule is then one can't be exempted from that.... Then the rule should not be there at all....
