ORDER : UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following 1. Pursuant to the order passed by this Court, the Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority for the National Capital Region has prepared a report regarding the Outdoor Advertisement Policy. The matter was examined in detail and report has been submitted before us. The various parameters have been laid down as to how the bill-boards hoardings can be fixed the city roads within the jurisdiction of the M.C.D. Certain objections have been raised by some persons who intend to file applications i.e. those who have put up hoardings in the roof top of their house or buildings. They contended that these hoardings were permitted to be put under the earlier policy and if this proposed policy is implemented, they will not be allowed to put hoardings on their buildings and this would cause serious prejudice to them by the implementation of the policy. If any such persons are aggrieved by the implementation of the proposed policies, they would be at liberty to challenge the same. 2. MCD would be at liberty to go ahead with the policy and the persons who feel aggrieved may file appropriate application before this Court and appropriate orders would be passed. The MCD may go ahead with the implementation of the policy, notwithstanding any order passed by any court.
