Haryana government backs HC order to act against unauthorised construction in DLF areas

                Gurgaon: The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard the ongoing case filed over illegal constructions and commercial activities in residential properties across DLF 1 to 5 in New 
Gurgaon. 
SC took up multiple pleas in the matter, during which solicitor general Tushar Mehta appeared on behalf of the Haryana govt and strongly defended a Feb 13, 2024 order of Punjab 
and 
Haryana high court. SC is likely to deliver a ruling next week in the case. The verdict is likely to have far-reaching consequences for thousands of residents and commercial 
establishments in one of the city's most prominent residential areas. Mehta backed HC's direction to take action against unauthorised construction and commercial operations in 
residential zones, including in Economically Weaker Section (EWS) housing areas.He contended that the order was justified and necessary to maintain urban planning norms. The 
court 
has now listed the matter for further hearing next week. The case has seen nearly 16 special leave petitions (SLPs) filed by different parties, including RWAs of DLF Qutub Enclave, 
DLF 
3 . On April 6, SC directed a status quo on HC decision putting brakes on sealing action.
