The Supreme Court on Thursday reaffirmed that citizens should not live in fear of "extra-statutory" bodies, upholding its 2020 judgment that faulted the actions of the monitoring committee in sealing residential properties in Delhi that were not being misused for commercial purposes.
NEW DELHI:
A bench led by Justice BR Gavai dismissed two review petitions challenging the August 14, 2020, order passed in the MC Mehta case, which had ruled that the committee overstepped its mandate by acting against private residential properties.
"Courts cannot interfere in everything. To what extent can courts interfere? Then let the executive and legislature wind up," the bench, also comprising Justices PK Mishra and AG Masih, observed.
