Arjan Garh Metro Station
While the initial cost for changing the station's name was told as ₹248,000 (US$3,000) by DMRC, it was later increased to ₹5 crore (US$600,000). The residents went to the High Court of Delhi, which in Ved Pal vs Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Anr. ruled that the court cannot determine whether any policy or a specific decision taken to fulfill that policy is fair. It can only deal with the manner in which that decision was taken, and since the naming of the metro station after the Arjan Garh air force base could not be considered to be arbitrary or irrational, the petition was accordingly dismissed.
