HC Sends Notice to Haryana Government on Revived S+4 Floor Policy

07 Oct 2024 CW Team

Two weeks after the Haryana government revoked its decision to pause the implementation of the S+4 floor policy, the Punjab and Haryana High Court issued a notice to the government, along with the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) and the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran. This notice demanded responses regarding the issue, following a petition that challenged the revocation.

The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition, which contests the construction of four-floor buildings with stilt parking in Gurgaon, was submitted by a resident of Sushant Lok. The petitioner, Sunil Kumar Singh, contended that the state government’s decision to allow these constructions, despite the inadequate infrastructure, is harmful to the overall well-being of the city.

The PIL was heard by a bench led by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu, with senior advocate Meet Malhotra representing the petitioner. The bench also agreed to hear a stay application filed as part of the petition, which requested an immediate halt to any further approvals for four-floor construction.

The hearing for both the PIL and the stay application is scheduled for October 23.

In his petition, Singh noted that the Haryana government had previously established an expert committee to assess the feasibility of four-floor buildings in cities like Gurgaon, which are already grappling with infrastructure challenges. The committee had recommended conducting an audit of the city’s infrastructure, including drainage, waste management, roads, and public utilities, before permitting additional floor constructions. However, despite these recommendations, the state reintroduced the four-floor policy on July 2, 2024, without addressing these concerns.
