The Story in Brief
The Supreme Court has directed the Jaipur Development Appellate Tribunal to decide within two weeks all pending appeals involving alleged illegal constructions and encroachments in Jaipur. The court held the tribunal’s Presiding Officer personally responsible for compliance in its August 5 order.
The Jaipur Development Authority alleges that land marked for agriculture or open space was encroached upon, with commercial complexes and a resort built without required permissions. It had begun demolition and sealing proceedings, but affected parties obtained interim protection from the tribunal. The Supreme Court ordered faster hearings. The alleged violations and individual permissions have not yet been finally decided.
The Indian Opinion
A firm deadline can stop interim protection from becoming a substitute for a final ruling. But claims that every disputed structure is plainly illegal are as weak as claims that every tribunal stay is an abuse. Each permission, land record and construction must be examined fairly. Personal accountability may improve speed, but due process cannot be sacrificed. The immediate test is whether the tribunal completes all pending appeals within the two-week deadline.
