Delhi High Court Orders Decisions on Sainik Farm and DUSIB Land Occupancy
The Delhi High Court directed authorities to decide on the regularisation of the illegal constructions in South Delhi's Sainik Farm colony within two months, urging a scheme to manage demolition and preservation. Separately, the court refused to extend land occupancy licenses granted by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board beyond the maximum six-month term, ordering occupants to vacate and instructing DUSIB to complete a fresh tender process within six weeks. Both rulings emphasize adherence to legal and contractual frameworks.
