The Delhi High Court on Monday agreed to hear a petition seeking an interim stay on the construction of Central Vista during the peak phase of the pandemic.
The court had earlier listed the case for hearing on May 17 but will now hear the plea on Tuesday.
The redevelopment project envisages a new triangular Parliament building, a common Central Secretariat, the revamping of the three-km-long Rajpath from the Rashtrapati Bhavan to India Gate and new residences for the prime minister and the vice president.
The government has brought the construction work under the ambit of “essential services” to ensure smooth movement of labourers during the lockdown in Delhi.
Last week, the Supreme Court had declined to entertain the plea against the High Court’s adjournment of the petition and told the petitioners to request the High Court for an urgent hearing.
