Delhi Court Orders MCD Officials to Appear Over Disputed Property Status Report

A Delhi court has taken a firm stance on a property dispute case, issuing a notice to the deputy commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) after a status report fell short of compliance with prior directions. Senior engineers are now ordered to appear in person.

The civil suit, heard by Senior Civil Judge-cum-Rent Controller Animesh Bhaskar Mani Tripathi, revolves around the demolition of an unauthorized property. The court has mandated the deputy commissioner to either submit a compliant status report or attend the next hearing in person.

Despite attempts to challenge the interim relief by the defense, citing that the status report indicated compoundable deviations, the court upheld the restraint order until April 18. The court insists on a full update in adherence to its directives.
