IHCL moves SC against auction of Taj Mansingh hotel

Tata group-owned Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) on Monday approached the Supreme Court challenging order of Delhi high court which had dismissed its plea challenging the tender procedure for the proposed auction of luxury hotel Taj Mansingh by New Delhi Municipal Council.

IHCL mentioned the petition before a vaction bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao and M M Shantanagoudar for an urgent hearing. agreeing to hear the plea the bench posted the case to June 1. “On mentioning, the matter is taken on board. List the matter on June 1, subject to curing of defects, if any,” the bench said.

The HC on May 22 rejected the plea of IHCL and allowed NDMC to proceed with the auction. The court said it is “apparent that the complex nature of eligibility conditions that NDMC has insisted upon, while considering tenders for the hotel plot, are based on thought and deliberation” and refused to intervene in a policy decision.
