NEW DELHI: In a significant ruling for children in the city who are constantly being shooed away from parks by resident welfare associations,Delhi high court has said that no one can prohibit children from using a park as a playground.
Rejecting a plea by a city RWA opposing fencing of a section of a local park by MCD (so that it can be reserved for volleyball), Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw on Tuesday invoked Oscar Wilde to drive his point home.
"I find that the petitioners (Rajinder Nagar Welfare Association) by intending to prevent children and adults from playing in the park are acting like the 'selfish giant'. They forget that a park without having children and adults to play there can't bloom.
