This query is : Open
With the increase in population, there is a continuous surge in external persons/ traffic entering residential colonies to either illegally park their cars, take short cuts to avoid main roads,and just hang around in large numbers ending up dirtying and misusing Private property.
In many cases internal space is taken away by outsiders who permanently park their cars overnight, illegally create permanent jhuggis,food stalls,and sleeping rights by rickshaw pullers, taxi drivers etc.
To avoid this misuse, RWAs put up colony gates and where ever feasible keep them closed. However MCD and the Courts have never been in favour of the RWA keeping gates closed, and given rulings to keep gates open, under the ground of ease of movement, and objections by some residents.
My query is -Under what grounds and law can RWAs appeal in the Delhi Court to keep some of their Colony gates closed ?
