The Madhya Pradesh High Court heard more than 60 sealing petitions in Bhopal, while petitioner Vivek Tripathi claimed that over 170 shops sealed by the corporation were reopened without any order.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court convened on Tuesday to hear a batch of more than 60 sealing cases filed in Bhopal. The cases pertain to commercial establishments that were sealed by the municipal corporation for alleged violations of regulations.
Petitioner Vivek Tripathi approached the court, asserting that over 170 shops previously sealed by the corporation have been reopened without any official clearance. He contended that the reopenings breach the court's earlier orders and undermine the enforcement of municipal rules.
The bench examined the petitioner's claims and directed the corporation to submit a detailed response on the status of the sealed premises. The hearing underscores ongoing tensions between local businesses and municipal authorities over compliance and enforcement.
No final verdict was delivered during the session, and the matter is slated for further consideration pending the corporation's reply.
