Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ordered that the shopkeepers will not be allowed to increase the size of their shops, adhering to previous orders regarding their location. The Agra Development Authority is tasked with preparing the construction plan, which must be delivered to the Shopkeepers Association within three days. The shopkeepers are given a strict deadline of fifteen days to vacate their current locations, with no possibility of extension. This decision emphasizes the court's commitment to maintaining the previously established guidelines for shop placement.
