Delhi HC Notices on Illegal Park Conversion in Nizamuddin West
An 85-year-old woman named Shiraz Parveen went to the Delhi High Court because a public park in her neighborhood, Nizamuddin West, was turned into a party lawn.
She says the park is being used for weddings and other events, which causes noise, pollution, and health problems for her and her family.
The court has asked the government and other groups involved to respond to her complaint.
The park was supposed to be a green space for everyone, but now it's being used for commercial events, which is against the rules.
The court will decide what to do after hearing from all sides.
Delhi High Court issued notice to government bodies and Nizamuddin West Association over illegal park conversion.
Petitioner, Shiraz Parveen, alleges severe health issues due to noise and pollution from commercial events.
Park was converted into a party lawn for weddings and social functions, violating planning and environmental norms.
Petitioner approached authorities earlier but no action was taken, prompting the High Court petition.
Court seeks restoration of the park to its original public use for the benefit of residents.
