Important cases heard in Delhi High Court on April 26

    Important cases heard in Delhi High Court on Friday, April 26:

    * HC directed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to forthwith process the applications filed by several lessors for deregistration of their 54 planes so that they could take them back from the crisis-hit Go First airline

    * HC has dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking guidelines for the release of undertrial prisoners in view of overcrowding in jails.

    * HC has observed that the situation of the district courts' record rooms where case documents are kept, is "grim" and the process of weeding out the records needs to be done expeditiously besides being monitored on a regular basis.

    * Repudiation of matrimonial bond and refusal to accept children, who are innocent victims in the "vile allegations," is the gravest kind of mental cruelty, the HC has observed.

    * HC pulled up the city government over the issue of non-supply of books to the children studying in MCD schools, saying the continuation of Arvind Kejriwal as the chief minister even after his arrest puts political interest over national interest.
