High Court refuses Apollo's plea

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to stay the demolition of illegal construction made by the city's Indraprastha Apollo hospital on the National Highway passing through Sarita Vihar in South Delhi.

A Division Bench of Chief Justice M K Sharma Justice Rekha Sharma, however, said that on May 16 it would hear their plea seeking direction to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) not to demolish hospital's illegal constructions on government land. Seeking an immediate stay on NHAI's decision to raze the structure on Thursday, the counsel for Apollo submitted before the court that the hospital has given an undertaking that they will demolish the construction on their own by Sunday. Earlier, the Bench came down heavily on NHAI for not acting against the hospital allegedly encroached NH2.- PTI
