SC to hear SCBA application tomorrow

New Delhi, Apr 16 (UNI) The Supreme Court will hear tomorrow application filed by the court's Bar Association seeking exemption for professionals such as lawyers, doctors and chartered accountants from the ongoing sealing drive in the capital.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal had earlier declined to spare the professionals from the process of sealing of commercial premises operating from residential areas in Delhi.

It may be noted that an application filed by the Central Government seeking six months stay of the ongoing sealing process is also pending in the Supreme Court.

The Centre is seeking six months time to identify the areas where mixed land use can be permitted.

This application is also likely to come up for hearing before the bench comprising Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal and Mr Justice C K Thakker tomorrow.
