NEW DELHI: A recent circular issued by the Delhi government permitting sale of property despite it being booked by municipal corporations for illegal construction has come under the high court scanner.

On Wednesday, HC slammed the AAP government for issuing such a circular. "This order is favoring builders and is against the people. You are ditching the common man, now he has no option. Builders would benefit," a bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva noted. The bench directed the state government to inform it why such a step was taken.
