AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has been allotted a new government bungalow at 95, Lodhi Estate, acknowledging his position as the national convenor of a recognised political party after AAP secured national party status following a decade of governance in Delhi.
Delhi High Court told the Centre that government bungalows must be allotted through a clear policy and not on “whims.” AAP seeks a residence for its chief Arvind Kejriwal under national party entitlement rules.
The Delhi High Court criticised the Centre’s delay in giving a government house to ex-CM Arvind Kejriwal, calling its approach a “free system for all.” The court demanded records on housing policy and waiting lists by September 18.
The Supreme Court of India has ordered former Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud to vacate his official bungalow due to exceeding the permitted stay following his retirement. Despite his claims of needing more time for family accommodations, the court’s formal request marks an unusual intervention, emphasizing adherence to rules regarding post-retirement housing.
Today, On 15th January, The Delhi High Court has dismissed a PIL challenging Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s residence in a government bungalow. The court stated that if any rules are violated, the concerned authorities have the power to take appropriate action. It emphasized that there was no need for judicial intervention in this matter. The decision has put an end to the legal challenge against Sisodia’s accommodation.
