Why did the Supreme Court reserve verdict in a contempt plea against DDA

1. The Supreme Court reserved its verdict in a contempt plea against the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for illegal tree felling in a protected ridge area. 2. The plea alleged that the DDA violated previous court orders by permitting the cutting of trees in the protected forest area. 3. The Court needed time to review the arguments presented by both the petitioner and the DDA before reaching a decision. 4. Despite previous directives to protect the ridge area, reports of unauthorized tree felling raised concerns over compliance with environmental regulations. 5. The reserved verdict indicates that the Court is carefully considering the evidence and legal aspects of the case before issuing a judgment on the contempt plea.
