DDA challenges stay on apartment demolition in HC

In response to a court-ordered stay on the demolition of unauthorized apartments in Delhi, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has approached the High Court seeking to overturn the decision. The DDA argues that the delay caused by the stay order hampers the city's urban development plans and compromises safety standards. The court had earlier intervened to halt the demolition process, citing concerns over the lack of proper rehabilitation measures for the affected residents.

The DDA contends that the unauthorized structures pose serious risks to residents and the overall infrastructure of the area. They emphasize the importance of upholding building regulations and maintaining public safety. The High Court is now expected to review the DDA's petition and assess the legal grounds for the stay on demolitions. The outcome of this legal battle will significantly impact the fate of these unauthorized constructions and set a precedent for future urban planning and development disputes in the region. As the legal proceedings unfold, residents and stakeholders await a decision that will shape the landscape of Delhi's housing and development policies.
