Delhi High Court Calls for Transparent Allotment of Government Residences

The Delhi High Court has emphasized the need for a transparent procedure in the allotment of government residential accommodations. In response to a plea by the Aam Aadmi Party seeking a bungalow allocation for Arvind Kejriwal, the court highlighted the importance of a clear policy and consistent application.

The Delhi High Court has mandated a transparent policy in the allocation of residential accommodations. The ruling comes in light of a petition by the Aam Aadmi Party, which is seeking a government bungalow for its leader, Arvind Kejriwal.

Justice Sachin Datta ordered senior housing authorities to present the procedural details of such allotments. The focus lies on understanding previous allotments and the manner in which priority is determined, especially given the limited availability of bungalows.

Recently, a Type VII bungalow at Lodhi Estate designated for Kejriwal was reassigned to Minister of State for Finance, Pankaj Chaudhary. The court expects clarity on policy application and adherence to ensure fair distribution of housing allocations in the capital.
