• Govt approves reorganization of West and South West Civil Districts/Sessions Division/Metropolitan Areas of Delhi.

The Delhi Cabinet has approved the proposal to the reorganization of West and South West Civil Districts/Sessions Division/Metropolitan Areas of Delhi.

The move was aimed at making administration smoother in the areas mentioned by further decentralization. The reorganization will also have a positive impact on the residents of the said areas making things easier for them.

The Cabinet gave nod to the proposal of reorganization of West and South West Civil Districts/Sessions Divisions/Metropolitan Areas of Delhi in as much as transfer of three police stations viz. Uttam Nagar, Vikaspuri and Janakpuri from the West District to the South –West District so as to enable the cases under their jurisdiction be filed in the Sessions division at Dwarka Court Complex.

However, the existing criminal cases relating to police stations of Uttam Nagar, Vikaspuri and Janakpuri, which were filed and are pending in the Sessions Court at Tis Hazari should not be transferred to the Sessions Court at Dwarka.

The new police station, envisaged at Vikas Nagar, will comprise of substantial areas presently under the police station of Ranhoula. The Vikas Nagar police station will form part of South-West Sessions Division and hence criminal cases emanating from Police Station at Vikas Nagar will be filed in the Sessions Division at Dwarka Court Complex.

Eight Revenue areas of West District viz. Budhela, Nangli Jalib, Posangi Pur, Asalat Pur, Hastsal, Raja Pur Khurd, Nawada Mazara Hastal and Matiala have been taken out of Patel Nagar sub-division of West district and added to Dwarka sub-division of South-West District, without creating a new district.

So, the new civil cases filed on or after cut-off date, relating/pertaining to territorial jurisdiction of the eight villages mentioned above, should be filed at the District Court Complex at Dwarka. However, existing or cases already filed before a cut-off date, which can be fixed should not be transferred and should be dealt with and adjudicated in the District Court Complex at Tis Hazari.
