Chattar Singh went to court to stop his building from being torn down because it was on military land. The court gave him a chance to fix the situation by applying to make his building legal.

Background: Why Chattar Singh Went to Court

Chattar Singh asked the court to cancel a notice from the Delhi Cantonment Board that said his building on military land would be torn down. He also wanted to change a previous decision from July 2025 about the same problem.

What the Court Decided

Judge Mini Pushkarna listened to the case and made several important decisions:

  • Chance to Apply: Chattar Singh can apply to make his building legal within four weeks.
  • Fair Hearing: The Delhi Cantonment Board must give him a chance to explain his side during the application process.
  • No Immediate Demolition: If Chattar Singh applies on time, his building won't be torn down while his application is being looked at.

"Liberty is granted to the petitioner to file an application for regularization of the construction." - Justice Mini Pushkarna

What Happens Next

If Chattar Singh doesn't agree with the decision on his application, he can take more legal steps. The court has given him the right to look for other solutions if needed.

Summary of Verdict

The court's decision gives Chattar Singh a temporary break. He now has the opportunity to make his building legal, but he must act quickly and follow any instructions from the Delhi Cantonment Board.
