One dose of pain today will make for a million happy things 20 years later. Courts have the job of interpreting the law. And since the Govt is partly responsible for the mess, it has the onus for thinking creative solutions here. But a downright 'pardon' isn't creative anymore. This circle of "why me first, why not them" has to stop someday somewhere. Sajith, for a beginning to be made towards sorting urban chaos, someone has to lose.

Government should issue some sort of job support to them, but legalizing the illegal things is not solution of this mess. Second if we see from point of law as you mentioned in your post, then law dont see religion, cast, creed, rich or poor while providing justice. We need to protet our legal system if we realy want to become super power one day. Some time you have to take hard decision, and I am sure every does take hard decision but what matter most how each person impliment his/her hard decisions. So if court says its illegal then government shouldnt interfear and make new law just to legalize the things. They should look after the families effected by this crisis and make some law to support these families. Dear Sajith

But there is a humanitarian aspect in this as well. Can you tell me what will all the affected people do? Let's fact it, they need to have some way of earning an income and surviving in this world as well. And when around 40-50 thousand traders (their families, people employed by these traders and their families) are in question, we are looking at pretty huge number of people who will be rendered jobless and without any support. While I would again agree with you that the shops in residential areas are illagal, my question is what about their survival? Ekawaaz, yes its illegal.

You cant assume that government can make illegal thing legal just because no one stopped you when you were making illegal structure. Illegal is illegal dont defend them.
