New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre on an appeal filed by Payal Abdullah, the estranged wife of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, against the order asking her to vacate government accommodation allotted to Mr Omar in 1999 in Lutyens' Zone New Delhi.
A division bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal sought the central government's response by November 10.
Ms Payal has challenged the single judge's August 19 order, through which she was asked to "gracefully" vacate bungalow No.7 on Akbar Road in New Delhi.
Seeking government accommodation for her and her sons on the ground that they have 'Z' and 'Z Plus' category security, Ms Payal said she along with her sons are living in a rented flat after vacating the bungalow, but it is not appropriate on security grounds.
The bungalow was allotted to Omar Abdullah, the National Conference leader, in 1999 when he was elected to parliament from Jammu and Kashmir and became a minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government at the Centre.
