Delhi High Court Allows Private Lift in South Delhi Building: A Win for Accessibility and Independent Mobility
In a significant move, the Delhi High Court has allowed the installation of a private lift in a multi-storey residential building in South Delhi. The judgment comes as a relief to homeowners who want better access and convenience—especially the elderly or those with health issues.
What Was the Case About?
The case revolved around a resident of a four-storey building in South Delhi who wanted to install a lift exclusively for personal use. However, other occupants of the building objected, claiming it would interfere with common areas.
After reviewing the case, the High Court ruled in favour of the resident, stating that the lift would be installed without altering the building’s structural integrity or infringing upon the rights of others.
What the Court Said
Justice Subramonium Prasad noted that the lift would greatly benefit senior citizens and people with health concerns. The court emphasized the growing need for accessible infrastructure in multi-storey homes, especially as more families opt to live on different floors of the same building.
The lift will be installed within the property boundary, and the court has directed that no part of the common area be encroached upon.
Why This Matters for You
