The Supreme Court says it will consider the government's plea to provide relief to nearly 25,000 traders only if they abide by their undertakings to stop misuse of residential premises for commercial activities.

In its application, the Urban Development Ministry had asked the apex court to spare about 25,000 traders who have given affidavits to stop the misuse of residential premises for commercial activities and covered by the September 7 and 15 notifications, which allows trading activities in over 2,000 roads from the drive.
