NYAYA BHOOMI Vs. GNCT OF DELHI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) COMMENCING our discussion, the Master Plan for Delhi- 2021 records that in the year 2001 the population of Delhi had already reached 13.8 million. Census data, on a projected estimate basis, would evidence that today i.e. in the year 2012, the resident population of Delhi is around 18.2 million. Add to it to a floating population of about 0.1 million. These are colossal figures.

(2.) AS against the national average of 27.81%, 93.18% of the population living in Delhi is urbanized.

(3.) AND that takes us to the subject at hand. A problem relating to transportation has fallen in our lap. Nyaya Bhoomi, a Non-Governmental Organization has instituted the instant petition, stated to be in public interest, and the problem highlighted is pertaining to a stretch of road spanning 5.6 km. The road commences from the South at Ambedkar Nagar and moves in the Northern direction towards Delhi Gate and the stretch in question is from Ambedkar Nagar to the Mool Chand crossing.
