CJI Sanjiv Khanna Recuses From Hearing Contempt Case Against DDA Over Tree Felling, Says Happened To Meet Delhi LG At NALSA Event

Live Law  

Chief Justice of India Justice Sanjiv Khanna today recused himself from hearing the contempt case against the Delhi Development Authority for the illegal felling of trees in Delhi Ridge. Earlier, the bench comprising former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra was hearing the contempt case initiated against the DDA Vice Chairman for the felling of the trees in Delhi's ridge without obtaining the mandatory permission from the Supreme Court. On the last hearing, the bench led by former CJI Justice Chandrachud observed that there was a discrepancy between the statements of the Chairperson of the Delhi Development Authority and the Vice Chairperson of the DDA regarding the date on which the former was informed about the illegal felling of the trees in the Delhi's ridge forest. Justice Gavai observed that his bench had issued notice to the DDA on a contempt petition with respect to the same tree felling much before Justice Oka's bench initiated the proceedings. Following the directions issued by Justice Oka's bench on July 12, Chief Secretary of the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, Naresh Kumar, filed an affidavit stating that LG VK Saxena was not made aware of the necessity to obtain the court's permission for felling trees in the southern Ridge.
