This is not the first time that Delhi has been held to ransom. The Delhi Rent Control Act, first introduced in the mid-nineties, and enacted primarily to balance the interests of landlords and tenants, was rendered dead in the water — after being passed by both Houses of Parliament — thanks to the unremitting and violent agitation of local traders who gained immensely from their occupation of property not their own. The political minders of the Capital could not ensure that justice was done then. Now they have provided us with further evidence of their inability to uphold the principles of law and sound city planning by passing the strangely — and ironically — entitled Delhi Laws Bill.
