Overview

• The housing ministry allotted 95, Lodhi Estate, a Type‑VII bungalow, after the Delhi High Court criticised delays and the Centre promised an order within 10 days.
• Kejriwal and his wife inspected the four‑bedroom property with two lawns, and he is expected to shift after standard renovations.
• The bungalow was previously occupied by BJP leader and former National Minority Commission chairperson Iqbal Singh Laalpura.
• AAP’s petition followed the July allocation of 35, Lodhi Estate—vacated by Mayawati—to Union minister Pankaj Chaudhary instead of Kejriwal.
• A 2014 Directorate of Estates guideline entitles recognised national party heads to government accommodation without specifying category, and Kejriwal has been staying at MP Ashok Mittal’s bungalow pending allotment.
