The High Court appointed Monitoring Committee will be holding its meeting on January 3 to decide the fate of T Nagar business establishments whose premises were sealed by Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority.

Monitoring committee member M G Deivasahayam said the meeting will review the court orders basically the list seeking to deseal the premises of shop owners.

“We will look into the issue on case by case basis,” said Deivasahayam, adding that, “We will also be looking into the kind of proof being produced by the shopping establishments before deciding on it.”

The High Court bench has asked shop owners whose premises had been sealed to submit requisite details before the committee with a request to 'de-seal' their premises. “The committee should consider the details and pass individual orders,” the bench observed.
