The Delhi High Court has directed the Estate Officer to continue proceedings under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971, but not to pass a final order until the next date of hearing in a petition filed by Vipin Aggarwal and others.
Justice Amit Mahajan passed the direction on October 16, 2026, while hearing a petition against the Union of India and others. The petitioners apprehended that the Estate Officer, whose proceedings were listed for hearing submissions on October 22, 2026, might pass a final order, rendering their pending petition infructuous.

In view of this submission, the Court listed the applications along with the main petition on November 17, 2026, and directed the parties not to seek unwarranted adjournments in the proceedings before the Estate Officer.
