HC pulls up MCD, says Delhi's administration requires re-look

Delhi High Court

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday said the financial condition of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was "precarious" and the administration of the national capital would require a re-look if the civic authority was incapable of handling itself.

A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan, which had earlier warned the civic authority of its dissolution if it did not make itself financially viable, said the citizens cannot continue to live in "misery" due to the MCD's incompetence.

The court reiterated that it would direct supersession of the MCD and directed that the issue be listed for a daily hearing from April 8 onwards.
