Sainik Farm is an illegal settlement in New Delhi. A large tract of land was left in Delhi to maintain the greenery. However the rich and powerful bought tracts of land there ostensibly to farm but built huge mansions there. Delhi High Court declared 99A B,102 ,106 Mehtas' A B C as illegal but most have refused to move out. At present at least one Cabinet Minister, Mani Shankar Aiyar maintains his residence there.^{[citation needed]}

There are a number of other politicians living in Sainik Farms. And supposedly according to the Sainik Farms Resident Welfare Association Sainik Farm is on the verge of becoming legalized.
