K.K. MUTREJA Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD the learned counsel for the parties. It appears that for one or the other reason the officers concerned of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi are not taking any action for removing the encroachment on the public roads or at public places for various reasons. The High Court directed the removal of encroachment in 1995. That order was unfortunately reviewed after a lapse of four years and Respondent 7 who was encroacher on the public land near Lajpat Nagar IV got benefit of technicalities.

(2.) HOWEVER , when the matter came up for admission before this Court on 14/3/2001, the Court passed the following order:

(3.) CONSIDERING the stand taken by Respondent 7 and inaction of the officers concerned of MCD, we direct the Municipal Commissioner of Delhi to take appropriate action for removal of encroachment within the area of Block C, Amar Colony, Lajpat Nagar IV.
