Illegal construction and modifications to properties is not a new thing in the capital of India, especially considering the vast number of ongoing lawsuits against violaters that have overstepped the boundaries prescribed by the municipal corporation. What is new, although, is the strict mentality the judiciary has developed in order to dispose of these cases. Conviction or acquittal in such cases is rare, and as a result, similar cases are piled up and without a judgement, the obvious exploitation of land continues. Furthermore, the mean time of decades it takes for the conclusion of cases relating to illegal construction and modifications, violaters couldn't care less about the magnitude of wrong they're doing to the structure of the metropolis. It is precisely to eradicate such nuisances that the Courts have adopted a hard stance against such violations.

 The case in question is one which addresses the illegal modifications made to a kindergarten school in Sujan Singh park, New Delhi. The school, which was initially constructed coplying to the norms prescribed by the property law of India, as well as the guidelines laid down by the municipal corporation, has since been altered to violate both of the above. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court bench consisting of Justices Madan B Lokur, S Abdul Nazir and Deepak Gupta deliberated on a petition filed by the defense which sought to de seal the property so it could be functional in the meantime, till a final judgement is passed. The school was sealed off by a previous order of the Apex Court. In spite of the emotionally charged nature of the petition, which stressed upon the nature of the property, a kindergarten school, the bench dismissed the petition, hereby declaring that the property will remain in it's current state. It is nothing but invigorating to witness such a disciplinary action taken by the Supreme Court.
