New Delhi: Delhi HC on Thursday sought response from the Center and Delhi government on a petition. Indian National Congress Demand to execute a sale deed in favor of the party for its former headquarters at 7, Jantar Mantar Road.Justice Purushindra Kumar Kaurav issued notice to the authorities but refused to pass any interim order. Even as senior lawyer Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for AICC, urged the HC to ensure that the premises are not allotted to anyone else, the court said it would first examine whether the petition was maintainable or not.Justice Kaurav said the petitioner will have to satisfy sustainability before seeking interim relief. “Let’s see what the government’s reaction is. You may have to file a civil suit. This appears to be going out of bounds,” the judge said.Singhvi argued that INC was an allottee who had owned the property for decades. “I have been asking repeatedly for execution of the conveyance deed. There is no denial. There is no response. I have been in possession for 70 years. I have all the documents and payments. They should not allot it to anyone else,” he told the HC.The Congress said it has been in possession of a portion of the property since February 1946, which was allotted in 1956. He had paid Rs 6.1 lakh in 1959 for the sale consideration. The plea said that since 2017, it has made representations to the Delhi government, which is responsible for the management of the property, seeking execution of the sale deed, but to no avail.
