Delhi court orders attachment of iconic Bikaner House

A court here has directed the attachment of Bikaner House, which is owned by Nokha municipal council in Rajasthan after it failed to pay an arbitral award of Rs 50.31 lakh to a company.

District Judge Vidya Prakash passed the order, noting that the 2020 arbitral award in favour of Enviro Infra Engineers Private Limited has attained finality after an appeal preferred by the Nagar Palika was dismissed earlier this year.

In an order passed on September 18, the judge had noted the non-compliance of the court’s directions.
