The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has told the Supreme Court that its lawful occupation of a premises in Rouse Avenue is being wrongly labelled as an “encroachment” of land allotted for the Delhi High Court.
The ruling party in Delhi and Punjab had come under the spotlight after the Supreme Court recorded in an order on February 13 that the party was illegally occupying the land earmarked for the High Court six years ago to construct court rooms.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud had given the Delhi government time till February 19 (Monday) to fix a specific deadline to hand over the property to the Delhi High Court.
