Routine Administrative Exercise in Jahangirpuri Given Unwarranted Communal Colour: NDMC to SC

News 18  

The North Delhi Municipal Corporation informed the Supreme Court on Monday that the petitioners in the Jahangirpuri demolition drive case have sensationalised a routine administrative exercise by giving it an unwarranted communal colour. The petition deserves to be dismissed only on the ground that the petitioner has resorted to falsehood and has unfortunately attempted to sensationalise a routine administrative exercise by giving it an unwarranted communal colour, NDMC said. If the affected parties would have approached this court, they would have truthfully required to point out that what was being undertaken was the removal of unauthorised projection on the footpath or public road and such private parties also would have been bound by the order of the status quo, the NDMC said. The apex court had earlier extended its order directing maintenance of the status quo on the razing of buildings in the violence-hit Jahangirpuri area of the national capital and said it would take a "serious view" of the demolition that was carried out even after its order was communicated to the North Delhi Municipal Corporation mayor.
