'Absolute recklessness': Authority pulled up for its failure to provide info on L-G Saxena's visit to Ridge
THE Supreme Court on Wednesday reprimanded the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for its failure to furnish information regarding Lt Governor (L-G) VK Saxena's visit to the Ridge area, where 1,100 trees were felled. The court observed that the authority was protecting senior officials by diverting blame on subordinates.
A vacation bench comprising Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan condemned the DDA for its "absolute recklessness" in failing to find a document confirming Saxena's visit on February 3.
"This is absolute recklessness. You cannot find a simple document. Nothing has been done, no meeting of the officers has been called... we have all the doubts in the way things are done," stated the bench.
