New Delhi, October 14 The Delhi High Court has asked the MCD to ensure that no social and religious functions, including the ongoing Dussehra, are organised without its permission in a Shalimar Bagh park in north-west Delhi, which was recently declared as an ornamental park.
“The MCD shall ensure that no function is conducted on the central park (in B-block) without its permission,” Justice Gita Mittal said, while admitting a petition filed by a residents welfare association.
“In case the MCD is approached, permission would be considered for conduct for same in any appropriate place as per policy,” the court said.
The RWA, in its petition, alleged the park was declared as an ornamental park by the civic agency last year, and no socio-religious function could be allowed there.
Anuj Agarwal, appearing for the RWA, submitted that ‘Mata Bhagwati Durga Puja Samiti’, which had been organising Dussehra in the park for five years, distributed invitation cards containing the name of the park as venue for the puja.
The court, on being informed by MCD that the Puja Samiti did not seek permission from it, asked the civic agency to ensure that no such activities are carried out without its prior sanction.
