Earlier, the court had stayed the construction of the police station after the petition from the land owners.

The government had contended that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) required the land, where the police station stood, for an elevated corridor, which will be a crucial link between Delhi and Faridabad.

The stretch, which includes a 3-km long six-lane elevated highway, was originally scheduled to be completed by December 2010 but the government is planning to construct it ahead of the schedule to be ready in time for the Commonwealth Games in October 2010.

Countering the petitioner's claim, Delhi Police told the court that the land in question was the most suitable for the police station. It said: 'The land was found to be more suitable for the police station since it is located on the main highway and so would have more visibility, besides providing an easy access to citizens and facilitate quick response from the police.'
