It seems the stars are not at all in favour of Congress leader and ex-Governor of Bihar, Buta Singh.
While the apex court virtually threw him out of his official bungalow late last year, the New Year marked his unceremonial exit from the post of the Governor.
But, his problems seem far from over. Now, he is all set to bear the wrath of the Delhi High Court. The demolition drive, which is being carried out, might uproot his present residence in Jangura Extension.
Last year on October 24, the Apex court, while hearing a petition took a very serious view of Bihar Governor Buta Singh and several other VVIPs occupying unauthorized ministerial bungalows in the capital, ordered, "How can a Governor have a (government) house in Delhi? Throw him out." Subsequently, Buta Singh had no options but to start looking for some suitable location so that he can shift his family to the new house.
Ultimately, he found a house, a builder's flat in Jangpura Extension, but he probably was not aware that the house is in MCD's list of illegal buildings.
As per the list of illegal buildings compiled by the MCD in 2005, Buta Singh's house (K-33) is listed on number 251 of the Central Zone and might face 'bulldozers' soon! Moreover, the High Court is not keen to be lenient to the rich and the mighty.
