Historic Jantar Mantar Road Bungalow and Its Legal Tussles

In the heart of Delhi lies 7, Jantar Mantar Road, an elegant British-era bungalow historically linked to the Indian National Congress (INC). Once the party's headquarters, it now finds itself embroiled in a legal battle over its ownership.

Recently, the Delhi High Court has sought responses from the central and Delhi governments on a petition filed by the INC, which seeks the execution of a sale deed for the property. Despite financial transactions dating back to 1959, the deed has yet to be finalized due to ongoing legal hurdles.

The property has a storied past, having witnessed numerous protests and historical political movements. As the legal battle unfolds, the significance of this iconic structure remains undeniable for many who have followed its history. The court has scheduled further proceedings for September 14.
