Delhi High Court sets aside LG order revoking bungalow allotment to Aam Aadmi Party

Delhi High Court sets aside LG order revoking bungalow allotment to Aam Aadmi Party

New Delhi, Aug 23 (UNI) The single-bench of Justice Vibhu Bakhru of Delhi High Court today set aside the order of the Lieutenant Governor (LG), who cancelled the allotment of a bungalow to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in central Delhi. It was submitted on behalf of the AAP that on December 31, 2015, the party was allotted bungalow number 206 at the Rouse Avenue, Delhi. It was contended by the AAP that as per the central government’s policy all registered political parties are entitled for an accommodation. AAP submitted that other parties are enjoying accommodation allotted to them in the heart of the National Capital. It further submitted that AAP received a communication on April 12 this year that the LG had cancelled the allotment of the bungalow on the ground that it was contrary to law and the rules after that the petition was filed by challenging the cancellation of allotment. Union Government Standing Counsel argued that an accommodation was offered to the party in Saket in South Delhi, but AAP had refused to accept it. Justice Bakhru, after hearing the petition, held that the order of April 12 cancellation of allotment did not say which law or rule has been violated and kept in abeyance two consequential orders passed by the Public Works Department of the Delhi government on June 13 rejecting the party’s request for alternative accommodation and directing it to pay dues of over Rs 27 lakh towards the market rent of the property up till May 31. The court further remanded the matter back to LG Anil Baijal for passing a reasoned order within eight weeks after hearing the political party. UNI XC RP2010
