Supreme Court Hears Plea on Sealing of Lawyers’ Basement Office in Greater Kailash-I, Delhi

The Supreme Court heard a petition filed by lawyers challenging the 2019 sealing of their basement office in Greater Kailash-I by the Court-appointed Monitoring Committee.

The petitioners argued that the premises were lawfully purchased for professional use and that the sealing violated their right to practise under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.

The South Delhi Municipal Corporation had sealed the office following complaints of illegal construction and misuse of property.

The Court has directed Amicus Curiae Anita Shenoy to submit a report before the next hearing on October 27, 2025.
