On Thursday, Delhi High Court upholds government’s order to National Herald publisher – Associated Journals Limited (AJL) to vacate ITO building in Delhi. However, the court has not given the exact time frame in which AJL has to evict the Herald building.
AJL had appealed in Delhi High Court against the government order to vacate the building but the bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao rejected its petition.
On December 21, 2018, AJL had challenged the High Court’s single judge order to vacate the premises at ITO within two weeks and on failing the eviction proceedings under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971, would be initiated.
