The Supreme Court on Monday directed the chief secretary of Delhi to be present before it on August 23 and apprise it of the policy on holding social functions and marriages in hotels, farm houses and low density residential area here.
A bench comprising Justices Arun Mishra and Deepak Gupta gave this direction after the counsel appearing for the Delhi Government told the court that they have finalised the policy and the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) would have to notify it.
"Our policy is final. Now, the DDA will have to notify it," the Delhi government's counsel told the bench.
The bench then asked the DDA's counsel, "How much time is required to notify this?"
The DDA's counsel said she would have to seek instruction on the issue. She said the policy was not submitted to the DDA yet.
"As per my instructions, we (Delhi government) have sent it to the DDA," the Delhi government's lawyer said, adding, "Within two days, I will make sure that it (policy) is sent to the DDA".
