PIL Before Delhi High Court Seeks Implementation of Delhi Panchayati Raj Act

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Delhi High Court, urging the implementation of the Delhi Panchayati Raj Act, which has remained dormant since its enactment in 2015.

The plea highlights the lack of elected village councils (gram panchayats) in rural Delhi, depriving communities of self-governance and developmental funds.

The petitioner argues that the delay violates constitutional principles and hampers rural welfare.

The court may direct the Delhi government and central authorities to enforce the law, ensuring grassroots democracy and equitable resource allocation.
