Chandigarh administration mulls moving SC over HC order for paver blocks in green belt

The Chandigarh administration is contemplating approaching the Supreme Court against the February 7 order of the high court whereby the latter directed the administration to lay paver blocks in a green belt adjacent to the HC complex to facilitate parking of vehicles. The HC ordered laying of paver blocks to facilitate parking but administration says Capitol Complex may lose heritage tag. Earlier, the UT did so in January against the November 29 order whereby the high court had directed construction of a verandah outside the chief justice’s court even as the UT had expressed its reservation, arguing that implementing HC order without UNESCO approval may take away the World Heritage tag. The information that UT is contemplating to approach the apex court against the February 7 order for laying green paver blocks in a green belt was shared by UT’s senior standing counsel with the HC on March 7 during the resumed hearing of a 2023 public interest litigation, filed by Vinod Dhaterwal, an office-bearer of the high court employees’ association, demanding infrastructure development of the HC complex in the wake of increasing traffic congestion, space crunch and implementation of a holistic development plan.
