Supreme Court Orders AAP to Vacate HQ Land by June 15

The court's decision aims to ensure the land allotted for Delhi High Court's expansion is used for public and citizen benefit.

The Supreme Court of India ordered the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to vacate its headquarters from land allotted for the expansion of the Delhi High Court's infrastructure by June 15.
During the hearing, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud humorously remarked to senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, representing AAP, about the inappropriateness of opposing the land allocation for the Delhi High Court.
AAP has been allowed to apply for alternate land to the Centre's Land and Development Office, which will respond to the application within four weeks.
Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi argued that AAP, as one of the six recognized national parties, is entitled to a plot for its headquarters, expressing dissatisfaction with the alternative plot offered in Badarpur.
The court emphasized that no one can take the law into their own hands, underscoring the need for unencumbered possession of the land by the High Court for public and citizen use.
