Hotel owner drags DMRC to high court
Nayantara Rai / New Delhi May 17, 2007
Adil Singh Akoi, one of the heirs to the plush Hotel Imperial in the capital, has moved the Delhi High Court against the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation for quashing a tender taken out by the latter for a five-star hotel on a site that was once co-owned by the former.
....................
The DMRC required the land as the Metro alignment would pass underneath the property in question. “This has come as a great shock and surprise to the petitioner as both the respondents (Union of India and DMRC) have, by fraud and misrepresentation, acquired the property under a guise of public purpose and the said respondents are now exploiting the high potential of the land by using it commercially to personally profit from the same,” states the petition filed by Akoi last month.
.................
The petitioner further alleges that he, along with the other co-owners, had approached the DMRC to jointly develop the land, but the latter had rejected all these proposals.
