The
Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed before the Supreme Court has said that it is
not appropriate for the High Court to describe the Central Vista redevelopment
project as an ‘essential activity’ at the peak of the second wave of the
COVID-19 pandemic. That too especially when essential works are on hold during
the lockdown period across the country.
The
matter of Central Vista has once again reached the Supreme Court. The Delhi
High Court’s decision refusing to stop the Central Vista redevelopment
activities has been challenged in the Supreme Court. This appeal has been filed
by advocate Pradeep Kumar Yadav. Interestingly, Yadav was not a party to the
proceedings in the Delhi High Court.
It
has also been said in the petition that the High Court was also not proper to
say that the workers of the Central Vista project are living at the project
site, while the government and the SPCPL (the company that built the project)
clearly stated in their affidavits that the workers were living in the camp of
Sarai Kale Khan, which is not the project site.
Movement
pass was issued to bring and take laborers and supervisors from Sarai Kale
Khan. On March 20 last year, the Center had issued a notification regarding
change in land use for the Rs 20,000 crore project, which pertains to 86 acres
of land in central Delhi which includes buildings like Rashtrapati Bhavan,
Parliament House, Central Secretariat.
