The Delhi High Court has declined to grant additional time to the residents of Signature View Apartments to vacate their flats, stating that they have already been provided with sufficient time. The court emphasized that further delays would not be in the public interest, particularly considering safety concerns linked to the building’s structural condition.
Many families living in the complex had requested a time extension, citing difficulties in arranging alternative accommodation. However, the bench rejected these pleas, underlining that the issue extends beyond individual inconvenience and directly affects public safety.
The court maintained that due to the deteriorating condition of the building, continued occupancy poses a significant risk. Authorities have deemed it necessary to vacate the premises promptly so that appropriate reconstruction or safety measures can begin without obstruction.
The judgment has come as a setback for the residents, some of whom were hoping for a last-minute reprieve. The court's decision reinforces the urgency of the situation and underlines its priority for citizen safety over extended deadlines.
Patience among residents may be tested, but the High Court's ruling makes it clear that legal leniency has its limits—especially when public well-being is at stake.
As a result, the remaining occupants are now required to vacate their flats immediately to allow authorities to proceed with essential actions related to the building’s condition.
