A bench of justices B D Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva, however, made it clear that SDMC will issue the POC subject to the condition that no objection certificates are obtained by DDCA from the Delhi Fire Service as well as the Assistant Electrical Inspector.
The court also directed the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) to give an undertaking it "shall be held responsible for any consequences on account of non-compliance of any statutory norms" and disposed of its application.
Advocate Gaurang Kanth, appearing for SDMC, drew the court's attention to the kitchen at the stadium and said there should be adequate protection against fire hazards and no cooking should be allowed there.
DDCA, thereafter, submitted that no food would be cooked in the stadium and consequently, no kitchen would be operated and only pre-cooked food, which would be re-heated, would be provided.
