New Delhi, July 19 -- The Supreme Court on Friday rebuked unauthorised constructions in Chandni Chowk area despite a court-ordered ban and asked Delhi Police to arrest those "putting even a brick".

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi told the Delhi Police commissioner to deploy patrolling parties in the area and immediately stop the unauthorised constructions.

"The Commissioner of Police shall continue to deploy a police team for patrolling in the area and ensure that all the demolition orders passed by the MCD, over which courts have not granted any stay, are meticulously complied with, and where the illegal/unauthorised constructions are going on, such properties are sealed forthwith," the bench said.
