Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been asked to vacate its New Delhi headquarters located on land designated for the High Court. Despite the encroachment, the Supreme Court has granted the party an extension until June 15, considering the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The party has the option to apply for alternative land through the Centre’s Land and Development Office. In February, the court had noted that AAP was encroaching on land originally allotted for the expansion of the Delhi High Court. Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud emphasized that no one is allowed to take the law into their own hands and that all encroachments will be removed. The High Court should be given possession of the land for public use, and the Delhi Government officials have been directed to resolve the issue in a meeting with the Registrar General of the High Court.
