The Supreme Court granted an extension until August 10 to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to vacate its Rouse Avenue party office. This decision came after the AAP filed a plea seeking more time beyond the earlier deadline set for June 15.

Representing the AAP, senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi presented the party's case before a vacation bench consisting of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta. The bench, considering the circumstances, agreed to the extension on the condition that the AAP would assure the peaceful handover of the premises.

The AAP's request for additional time stems from its pursuit of office space allocation from the Centre, citing its recognition as a national party. The Supreme Court had initially instructed the party to vacate its office by June 15, noting that the plot had been allocated to the Delhi High Court for the expansion of judicial infrastructure.

The bench emphasized that the AAP must relinquish possession of the building located at 206, Rouse Avenue, by the new deadline of August 10. However, it cautioned that any further extensions beyond August might not be considered.

Highlighting the pressing need for additional courtroom space, counsel for the Delhi High Court underscored the importance of the AAP vacating the premises promptly. This stance reflects the ongoing tension between the AAP and the Centre over office space allocation amid the backdrop of the judiciary's infrastructure requirements.

While the Supreme Court's decision provides the AAP with a temporary reprieve, it underscores the broader issue of balancing political concerns with essential institutional needs, particularly in the context of judicial infrastructure.
