HC raps Centre for decades-long delay in legalising Sainik Farms
Hindustan Times Delhi
|August 14, 2025
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday criticised the Centre for failing to take a final decision on regularising south Delhi's Sainik Farm colony, observing that residents whose homes were built nearly five decades ago remain in limbo, unable to carry out even basic repairs.
A bench of chief justice DK Upadhyay and justice Tushar Rao Gedela directed the Centre and other authorities to “sit together” and decide. “The basic question still remains as to what the central government is considering on the regularisation of these colonies...Everyone is trying to pass the buck... The buck ultimately stops at the court,” the bench remarked.
