The Delhi High Court has held that allotting Ramleela grounds on a first come first serve basis creates an unequal race for information, and has directed the authorities to frame annual guidelines, but gave no relief on the 2026 allotment.
The Delhi High Court instructed the DDA to develop comprehensive SOPs for booking Ramleela sites within five weeks, aiming to ensure transparency and fairness. This comes after petitions raised concerns about irregularities in the current process. The court has also prohibited new bookings until the new guidelines are established. The aim is to maintain the integrity of this tradition.
