NEW DELHI:
Delhi High Court on Wednesday
expressed
concern over Delhi Development Authority’s conduct of granting permission to society to
mortgage
south Delhi’s
Raisina Bengali School
and asked how the land-owning agency could do this as it was not a commercial plot and the land was given for a social cause.

The high court said DDA has to be equally concerned with the fact that the working of the school itself would get disrupted, which would put the future of students studying in the school in jeopardy. It directed the DDA to reconsider its policy in this regard and take corrective measures.
“How are you granting permission to schools to mortgage school property? What do you mean by conditional permission? The society (which manages the school) is going to swindle the amount after realising. How can you even do this? This is not a commercial property, this is given for a social cause” a bench of acting chief justice Vipin Sanghi and justice Sachin Dutta said.
The court was hearing a PIL by NGO Justice For All against the auction of Raisina Bengali School in Chittaranjan Park.
