"No Interference Required": Supreme Court Rejects Plea On Central Vista, Delhi High Court Order

Central Vista: The High Court had also asked the petitioner to pay a fine of Rs 1 lakh and the Supreme Court today made it clear it won't interfere with the decision.

Nearly a month after the Delhi High Court dismissed the challenge against the centre's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment project, the Supreme Court today rejected a petition challenging the High Court order. The High Court had also asked the petitioner to pay a fine of Rs 1 lakh and the Supreme Court today made it clear it won't interfere with the decision. "Did you research about how many projects are going on? How did the petitioner pick up one single project?" the top court asked today in sharp remarks. In its order, a three-judge bench of Justices A.M. Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and Aniruddha Bose said, "No interference is required against the orders of the Delhi High Court. The petitioners are not in a position to point out as public-spirited petitioners why they asserted only on the present project. It is noted that during pendency of the appeal it was placed on record that the project is fully complied of all protocols. So, appeals have been dismissed."
