The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed the Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) to reconsider its action against properties in a residential area that are allegedly being used for commercial purposes, in line with a recent Supreme Court order. The court has given the BMC four weeks to make a decision on the matter, after a petition was filed by Vinod Kumar Singh and others challenging a show-cause notice from the BMC threatening sealing and demolition of their freehold property.
The petitioners argued that the area had been designated for commercial use under the applicable master plan and that the property had already been converted from leasehold to freehold. The BMC agreed to reconsider the matter after taking the petitioners' response and relevant documents into account, and the court granted the petitioners seven days to submit a detailed reply.
