Expressing anguish over continuous cover-up by authorities over the role of L-G V K Saxena in tree felling in the Ridge area, the top court has directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to inform it whether the order to cut trees was passed based on the L-G's oral permission or the agency independently took the decision.
A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and Surya Kant said it would take up the plea after senior advocate Gopal Shankarnarayan mentioned the matter.
