New Delhi: Supreme Court on Wednesday asked city authorities to inform it of steps being taken to preserve nine monuments inside Delhi Golf Club, where it earlier directed there shall be no activity permitted within a 20-metre radius of those buildings.A bench of Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and N Kotiswar Singh asked New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) to explain how it is ensuring the club “discharges its obligation” to maintain the monuments.The SC’s direction came while noting it is “not very satisfied” with the conservation work being carried out by Aga Khan Trust on some of the monuments falling inside the club. It also flagged the “commercial” use of the iconic Sunder Nursery area by the trust and questioned why “govt has given them chunks of the nursery on a platter.”Indicating it will delve into the issue in future, the bench didn’t mince words on use of “70-80 acres,” saying the trust is “charging the public” and doing a business at the nursery.“Govt has given it to them on a platter, for so years they are enjoying this. You cut 70 acres out of a govt nursery and give it where they are running heavy restaurants….we will take note of this..we will blacklist Aga Khan Trust from India…do they think they have a right to do anything? They think they are sacrosanct?” the bench orally observed during the hearing.The trust’s activities came into focus after the court was informed by the club it has taken certain tangible measures to protect the monuments within its campus by prohibiting human access and by forming a perimeter around such structures.The court-appointed commissioner submitted that these structures are being given to various conservation agencies such as Aga Khan trust for conserving them in a phased manner, adding that the club has shown its “bona fide” by taking effective steps.During Wednesday’s hearing, the apex court also warned it would crack down and hand “exemplary orders” to officials from govt agencies if it came across a compromise in quality of material being used in preserving monuments. “We will set an example for all over India,” the court made clear.SC earlier ordered NDMC and Delhi Police to seal structures within the 100-metre prohibited zone of a protected monument near the entrance gate of the club, but later stayed its order, granting “extraordinary indulgence.”After the club sought time to respond and come up with suggestions, the bench said though it “does not find any ground for any rethinking, however, by way of extraordinary indulgence, the implementation of the aforesaid directions to the chairperson, NDMC, and commissioner of police, Delhi, is kept in abeyance till the next date of listing on July 22.”The top court passed the order after noting an “alarming” situation that most of the monuments bear no semblance of any conservation work and are in dilapidated condition. It earlier also sought an explanation from the ASI director.
