Building housing Delhi Public Library to stay

| Wednesday | 19th September, 2018

The first Delhi Public Library was started by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru across the Old Delhi Railway Station in 1951. Funded by the Ministry of Culture, the Delhi Public Library is an autonomous body which has around 45 branches and mobile libraries across Delhi. The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered status quo to be maintained on the demolition of a building which houses the Delhi Public Library (DPL) in the Capital. The library was issued two notices by the corporation asking it to vacate so that the building could be demolished. The court issued notice on the appeal filed by the Delhi Library Board against the Delhi High Court’s September 10 order by which six months time was given to DPL to relocate its branch to another location accessible to general public.

more-in The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered status quo to be maintained on the demolition of a building which houses the Delhi Public Library (DPL) in the Capital. A Bench led by Justice Madan B. Lokur said no portion of the property situated at Karol Bagh be demolished. The court issued notice on the appeal filed by the Delhi Library Board against the Delhi High Court’s September 10 order by which six months time was given to DPL to relocate its branch to another location accessible to general public. The court posted the matter for hearing after two weeks. The High Court’s order had come on a petition against the North Delhi Municipal Corporation’s notices to the library to vacate the premises, which the civic body said was structurally unfit and dangerous. Funded by the Ministry of Culture, the Delhi Public Library is an autonomous body which has around 45 branches and mobile libraries across Delhi. The first Delhi Public Library was started by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru across the Old Delhi Railway Station in 1951. The library was issued two notices by the corporation asking it to vacate so that the building could be demolished.
