SC orders razing of tony enclave in Aravali range

In a big jolt to several prominent politicians, former bureaucrats, defence personnel and judges who purchased residential plots in Kant Enclave, situated in the protected zone of Aravali range in Faridabad, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered demolition of all buildings constructed after 1992. Spread over a sprawling 425 acres with over 1,650 residential plots and open space of 153 acres in the form of green belts, parks and roads, Kant Enclave is a sought-after address with luminaries like former CJI A M Ahmadi and others residing in the area. Only 6km from the Delhi border and near Badkal and Surajkund lakes with the Aravali hills as a backdrop, the enclave is refuge from the capital’s heat and dust. The court set a deadline of December-end to clear the land by demolishing all structures. It also imposed a fine of Rs 5 crore on the company which claimed to have invested Rs 50 crore in developing the area. The fine amount is to be deposited within a month in the Aravali Rehabilitation Fund. The area was developed by R Kant & Co after the Haryana government granted exemption in 1984 for the construction of a film studio and residential complex.
