This interlocutory application said to be in public interest has been filed seeking orders for quashing the occupancy certificate and permission granted by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi in respect of the stadium at Ferozshah Kotla, New Delhi for the purpose of holding one-day international cricket match between India and Pakistan on 17-4-2005. Apprehensions, based on newspaper reports, have been expressed about the structural safety of the constructions. 3. We have made it abundantly clear to the applicant that at this stage we are not examining the legal and other issues raised in the writ petition or in the application but we feel that the safety of the structures is of paramount importance when such an event is going to take place shortly. 4. Apart from the fact that learned Attorney General and Solicitor a General have strenuously submitted that every precaution from safety angle has been taken, Mr Ashwani Kumar, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, states that the Corporation has not gone merely by the documents filed with it by the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), but the senior officers including engineers have not only examined the documents on record but have inspected the structures from safety angle and are fully satisfied about the safety and the decision was taken at the highest level and only thereafter permission to hold the match on 17-4-2005 has been granted. Mr Rohatgi, learned Senior Counsel appearing for DDCA has filed in the Court a detailed procedure that has been followed in designing and execution of the project which, besides being signed by the architects, Kothari Associates Pvt. Ltd., has also been signed on behalf of Engineering Projects (I) Ltd., giving various test reports conducted. The test certificates have also been filed along with this document. 5. Besides the above, it has been stated that the unfinished portion, though safe, shall not be occupied, with the result, there will be no vertical load thereupon. It has been brought to our notice that instead of 60,000 seats, only 30,000 seats would be allowed to be occupied. We have further been informed that the unfinished portion would be blocked, barricaded and protected. 6. On the submissions made, we find no ground to allow the prayer made in the application so as to stall the event fixed for 17-4-2005. 7. The application would be taken up along with the main writ petition. Court Masters
