NDTV
Delhi Metro: The petitioner said that the implementation of such a badly designed and technologically poor project shall not only ruin thousands of crores of public money but also will be inconvenient to the public and create traffic problems forever if the said project is not modified or reviewed.
Delhi High Court today dismissed a plea alleging serious and basic inherent defects in the project of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's double-decker viaduct project on the pink line in North East Delhi.
The plea had stated that if the project is allowed to be executed, it would create chaos and result in the cutting of thousands of 50-70 years old trees.
A bench of Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh on Monday said it found no sufficient ground to revive the disposed-off matter. The Bench also noted the DMRC counsel's submission that the authorities have already rejected the representation made in this regard.
The court had earlier directed the authorities concerned to treat the petition as representation and decide it in accordance with the rule, law, and government policy as expeditiously.
