The Heritage Conservation Committee informed Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva that the recommendation in favour of the structures was made by a sub-committee, formed to consider whether these structures should be preserved under the category of “modern heritage”.
Advocate Saket Sikri, appearing for the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), said the sub-committee had gone beyond the criterion for any structure to be called heritage. He added that a “heritage” building should be at least two generations or 60 years old.
