Delhi High Court Seeks Names of Officials Over Unauthorised Construction Near Protected Tomb
The Delhi High Court has directed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and Delhi Police to file personal affidavits naming officials responsible for overlooking unauthorised construction near the protected Tomb of Raushanara. Despite a stop-work notice issued by ASI in February 2024 and a police complaint, construction continued in the regulated area. The court criticized the agencies for a lack of sensitivity and determination, describing the MCD's approach as callous, while allowing lawful actions to be taken.
