Imposing a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the petitioner, the Delhi High Court on May 31 rejected a plea seeking a halt on the construction activities under the Central Vista project. The court termed the petition as a "motivated plea and not a PIL". The plea mentioned the construction of a new Parliament House, new residential spaces for PM and Vice-President amidst the pandemic as a "non-essential" activity.
