New Delhi: The Delhi High Court was on Monday informed by the DDA that it has allotted land to the Aam Aadmi Party-led government for constructing building for a minority school which has been functioning from tents since its demolition over 40 years ago during the Emergency.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao was told that a plot of 4,000 square metres has been allotted by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for the construction of the school in Old Delhi.
It noted that the competent authority had in principle granted approval for constructing the secondary school at Eidgah at Quresh Nagar in the walled city.
The bench disposed of the petition after the petitioner expressed satisfaction over the development.
The court had last year asked the Delhi government and the authorities concerned to explore the possibility of allotting land for the minority school.
