Supreme Court grants relief to Mayawati on Ambedkar Park issue
by ANI on November 4, 2009
New Delhi, Nov 4 (ANI): The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday lifted
curbs imposed by the Allahabad High Court, giving relief to Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati to go ahead with the construction of
the Ambedkar Park in Lucknow.
The Mayawati Government had moved a petition to vacate the stay on
construction activities, saying that it had resulted in serious
problems of maintenance of the memorials.
The apex court observed that "the orders passed by the judiciary on
the subject falling under the domain of legislature and the executive
should be ignored and should be treated in nullity" and the courts
should not exceed their "limits".
"How can the High Court pass interim order on the issue relating to
the Master Plan which is not in the domain of the judiciary," said a
bench comprising Justices H K Sema and Markandey Katju, while staying
the April 4 interim order of the High Court.
The Mayawati government had triggered a controversy by changing the
land use of 35 acres area of Bhim Rao Ambedkar Park and starting the
construction activities for setting up the Kanshi Ram Research
Institute.
A group of residents had moved the High Court, which directed the
state government to maintain status quo on the construction
activities.
The apex court refused to pass any order for contempt action against
the state government for allegedly installing a permanent structure in
the park to organize the birth centenary celebrations of Bhim Rao
Ambedkar on April 14.
The Bench also issued notice to Gomati Nagar Jan Kalyan Samiti and
other petitioners on the plea of the state government seeking transfer
of all cases relating to the Ambedkar Park to the apex court and
stayed all the proceedings in the High Court. (ANI)
