"We are in no hurry to regularise affluent colonies like Sainik farm. In fact they can wait," she said. She further said that the people of the affluent unauthorised colonies such as Mahendru Enclave and Anant Ram Dairy can take care of their own colonies unlike those in the 1639 colonies inhabited by low and medium class people.

A meeting, scheduled last week to discuss recommendations of KK Mathur committee for regularisation of affluent unauthorised colonies, was postponed, indicating Government's disinterest in the matter.

Sources said with Assembly polls round the corner; the Congress ruling Government was keen to appease a large chunk of voters living in the 1639 non-affluent colonies.

"That is why the decision of issuing provisional certificate to the colonies for regularisation has come up from the Government even as the court is yet to give a go ahead in the matter," they said.

The Government will submit an affidavit in High Court on July 7 during the hearing on the issue. Mathur Committee, which was constituted by Urban Development Ministry, has recommended huge penalty and development charges to be levied for regularisation.
