The Delhi High Court has allowed the Centre to approach the appropriate authorities to seek approvals for the revised proposals regarding re-development of six South Delhi colonies, including Sarojini Nagar and Netaji Nagar.
A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice VK Rao said that since the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has reviewed the proposals to re-develop the six colonies, the ministry or the NBCC, which would carry out part of the work, can seek the necessary approvals and the authorities shall consider it in accordance with law. The court, in its interim order, said the Ministry or the NBCC shall also be at liberty to approach the Tree Officer of the Delhi Government, if required as per the revised proposal, for tree felling permissions.
