Delhi high court raps corpn on illegal properties


NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Monday lashed out at South Delhi Municipal Corporation for glossing over illegal constructions mushrooming in Mehrauli .

Justice S K Mishra gave two days time to the SDMC to ensure unauthorized constructions in more than half a dozen properties in the area is razed immediately.

HC warned it will not tolerate "cosmetic makeup" by which the corporation attempts to portray it has taken action against illegal construction. The court was quick to discover that most of the claims of the SDMC were superficial as far as its assurance of taking action is concerned.

It pulled up the agency saying lack of action despite repeated orders smacked of collusion with the accused property owners and warned the agency of strict action in case it fails to honour court orders.
