SC issues notice to NHAI on construction of Dwarka Expressway flyover

NEW DELHI: Construction of Dwarka Expressway flyover in Dwarka’s Sector 22-23. has come under judicial scanner with the Supreme Court on Monday agreeing to hear Resident associations plea alleging the highways authority was “illegally” building the flyover on road without obtaining mandatory clearance permission from the concerned authority.

A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah granted an early hearing and listed it for Friday after advocate Anand Varma, who filed the petition on behalf of two group housing societies, alleged that the full fledged constructions going on and irreversible damage to environment would be done if not stayed. The court thereafter issued a notice to National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) seeking its response.
