The parking has the capacity for 1,467 cars at five underground levels, which could be used by judges, advocates, litigants and the staff of the High Court.<br /><br />While the parking has been integrated with the Delhi High Court complex having vehicular underpass and pedestrian subway, the surface level of the parking has been aesthetically developed with modern landscaping, making provision for sitting arrangements for the general public and support facilities like a cafeteria and a drivers’ lounge.<br /><br />The parking was inaugurated by chief minister Sheila Dikshit in the presence of judges of Supreme Court and Delhi High Court and Union law minister Salman Khurshid.<br /><br />“This is a dream come true.

The sixth basement is meant for large cars,” said Vaish. <br /><br />“The sensor at teh lift will identify the car which is directly to be taken to the sixth basement. In addition to parking for 1,467 cars at various basement levels, additional parking for 51 cars is available at in or out level for any emergent situation. The maximum parking or retrieval time for a car is three minutes,” he added.<br /><br />Officials said the parking facility, which has come up at a cost of Rs 182.71 crore will help remove congestion and parking problems around the High Court and nearby heavy-traffic areas such as India Gate, Pragati Maidan, National Stadium, Rajpath and Delhi Zoo near Sunder Nagar.<br /></p>
