The move by the Delhi government to allegedly allot a night shelter to AAP MLA Asim Ahmad Khan to run his office from the same came under the scanner of the Delhi High Court Monday, which restrained further activities from the premises.

A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao sought to know the stand of the Delhi government and the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) and ordered “status quo” till the next date of hearing, November 1.

Khan, the former environment minister, was allotted space near the Turkman Gate on Asaf Ali Road by DUSIB, by way of a letter dated September 17.

Challenging the same, social activist Sunil Kumar Aledia moved the High Court, seeking quashing of the DUSIB order, as the shelter is home to many handicapped and homeless persons, who would be at the risk of being displaced.
