Kiran Bedi, the former police officer turned public figure, has approached the Delhi High Court seeking to intervene in the case related to the Satya Niketan building collapse. The petition was filed in response to the Centre's stance against her involvement in the matter.

A bench composed of Chief Justice D.K. Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia addressed the law officer, highlighting the need to file a suitable reply and underscoring Bedi's civic conscience and administrative experience. The bench emphasized that the issue is of significant public interest.

The Centre has expressed opposition to Bedi's intervention, arguing that the case should proceed without external interference. The High Court is now expected to decide whether Bedi's petition will be entertained.
