Delhi High Court backs NDMC as Lalit hotel licence termination is upheld

A 1982 licence deed breach became the turning point

The Delhi High Court has upheld NDMC’s decision to terminate The Lalit hotel’s licence on Barakhamba Road, ruling that Bharat Hotels Limited breached terms of a 1982 licence deed. The court’s verdict is a major blow to the hotel operator and validates the municipal council’s action that followed alleged non-compliance under the long-standing agreement.
