New Delhi, March 01: A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora added that MCD is embroiled in a lot of litigation because of its corruption and inefficiency and that the Court was fed up of giving time to the municipal body to clear its dues.
DB also issued a stern warning to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi that it would be dissolved if its current and former employees are not paid their salaries, pensions and arrears as per the 7th Central Pay Commission's recommendations.
The Court said that if the MCD cannot set its house in order, then a new system will be evolved without this current municipal corporation.
We have done enough, we are not going to help you anymore now. You are mature people. If you don’t pay salaries to your employees and become financially viable, we will close you because the constitution has a provision for dissolving you, we will do that.
You are inefficient people; you need to be told there is no space for you. You are only generating litigation for us because of your inefficiency and corruption. Either you set your house in order, if you can’t do that, then I think we need a new system and we will evolve a new system.
