The Delhi High Court on Friday declined to entertain the AAP government's appeal against a single-judge order directing its Social Welfare Department not to use a school playground meant for children suffering from hearing impairment as parking space.
The single judge had restrained the department from parking its vehicles on the playground and carrying out any further construction of office space within the school premises till August 20.
The department came in appeal against the order before a bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar, which said the government ought to vacate the premises it had temporarily occupied 14 years ago, instead of challenging the single judge's decision.
"You should show some sympathy to the differently-abled children. You should give more, instead of taking away from them. You should leave the premises. Tell us when are you vacating? How much time you want," the court said when the matter was taken up for hearing and added, "Else, we will send the children to some bungalow."
