Describing the Central Vista Avenue redevelopment, which entails construction activities on Rajpath and the surrounding lawns from the India Gate to the Rashtrapati Bhawan, as a vital and essential project of national importance, the Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed the plea against it saying it was motivated and filed with ill-intent and lack of bonafides . While allowing the construction activity to continue, a bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh imposed cost of Rs one lakh on the petitioners who wanted the work to be halted in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, observing that it was not a genuine public interest litigation .

‘Will give some sense of empowerment’
The Delhi High Court has granted interim compensation of ₹6 lakh to a six-year-old boy, who was subjected to sexual assault, abuse and sodomy by his uncle in the victim’s own house.
“Since the system cannot turn the clock back nor ‘undo’ the offence, there is little else the court can do other than prosecute the offender and provide to the victim whatever psychological security and sense of empowerment that monetary compensation can give,” Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani rued.
