New Delhi: The country's Supreme Court on Friday said that the encroachment is a matter of concern, but this does not mean that the Monitoring Committee went beyond its rights to work. A Monitoring Committee was formed in 2006 to identify illegal constructions in Delhi and to investigate the misuse of residential properties. The Supreme Court said that the committee cannot cross its jurisdiction and cannot take any action outside its authority.
Along with this comment, the Supreme Court quashed the notices issued by the Committee on April 2019 based on the report, sealing and demolition made on the basis of it. The Supreme Court has also ordered to return the sealed properties to their owners. The Supreme Court has asked the concerned authority to follow the order within three days.
A 70-page judgment by a three-member bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said that the apex court had never empowered the Monitoring Committee to take action against non-commercial residential complexes. The committee has no right to take action in the case of residential properties built on private land.
