PIL challenges sealing of constructions without notice by civic bodies
The Morning Standard
|February 12, 2025
THE controversial sealing of unauthorised constructions in the national capital has come under legal scrutiny as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenges the opaque powers exercised by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and the New Delhi Municipal Council.
The petition, filed by social activist and practicing advocate Amit Sahni, argues that affected people are often blindsided by the abrupt sealing of their premises without prior communication of the final order. The plea urges the Delhi HC to mandate that sealing orders be served immediately after the hearing and before the actual sealing takes place, ensuring affected persons are informed about their appellate rights and the 30-day appeal window.
