Sanction to attach properties of DMRC would bring city to halt, Centre tells Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court on Thursday was informed by the Centre that it cannot give sanction for attachment of properties of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for repaying unpaid arbitral award to Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Ltd (DAMEPL), owned by Reliance Infrastructure, as it would bring the city to a halt.
The High Court had on Monday directed the Centre to decide whether it proposes to give sanction for the attachment of movable and immovable assets of the DMRC.
The Centre has made its submission to the court through an affidavit filed by Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
It said that giving sanction will cause significant inconvenience to the public and impact law and order in the national capital.
“It is submitted that sanction for attachment of the properties of the DMRC cannot be accorded by the answering respondent since that would result in closure of the DMRC and bring the city of Delhi to a halt. Such a situation will cause significant inconvenience to the public and impact law and order in the city. The answering respondent, being the custodian of the public good, cannot permit such circumstances to ensue,” the affidavit stated.
A bench of Justice Yashwant Varma, while directijg the competent authority of DMRC to attend the proceedings on Friday so that a “holistic view” can be taken with respect to the funds available with the corporation, adjourned the matter for March 3.
The court also asked the counsel for Centre to place on record the formal order passed by it deciding not to accord the sanction for attachment of properties.
During the last hearing, the judge had said: “…Before the court proceeds to rule on the issue of whether the circumstances warrant the corporate veil of the DMRC be lifted, it would appear expedient to call upon the Union government to take a decision on whether it proposes to accord sanction for the attachment of the movable and immovable assets of the corporation for the purpose of the satisfaction of the amount payable under the award.”
The HC on February 17 issued a notice to the Centre and the Delhi government in the case.
Justice Varma had initiated proceedings against the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the Delhi government on the DAMEPL’s petition seeking enforcement of the arbitration award dated May 11, 2017.
An amount of Rs 1,678.42 crore of the arbitral award has already been paid and Rs 6,330.96 crore is yet to be paid by DMRC.
Attorney General R. Venkataramani had on January 31 told the high court that if the Centre agrees to an interest-free subordinate debt on behalf of the DMRC to pay Reliance Infra, the Delhi government will follow suit.
Earlier in January this year, the DMRC had informed the court that it has requested the Centre and Delhi government for interest-free subordinate debt of Rs 3,565.64 crore from each for repaying the DAMEPL.

US President Donald Trump’s Daughter Tiffany Visits India’s Iconic Taj Mahal With Husband During Private Trip

India’s most iconic monument just welcomed another high-profile visitor. Tiffany Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, made a stop at the world-famous Taj Mahal on May 30 during her private trip to India, accompanied by her husband, Michael Boulos.
The couple reportedly arrived in Agra on Saturday and spent time exploring the historic marble mausoleum before continuing their travels to Rajasthan. Videos from the visit, shared by press, showed Tiffany embracing the Indian summer in a breezy floral dress, while Michael opted for a relaxed casual look as they admired one of the world’s most celebrated architectural wonders.
Inside Tiffany Trump’s India visit with husband
Tiffany travelled to Agra via a chartered aircraft. Given the family’s global profile, authorities made special security arrangements during the visit. However, officials have clarified that the trip is entirely personal, with no political meetings or official engagements on the schedule.
Before arriving in Agra, Tiffany also visited Swaminarayan Akshardham in Delhi. Sharing her experience on social media, she described the visit as an “Incredible visit to Akshardham Temple,” offering followers a glimpse into her cultural tour across India.
The visit has naturally sparked interest, not only because of Tiffany’s famous family name but also due to the Trump family’s longstanding connection with India. Over the years, members of the family have frequently expressed admiration for India’s culture, heritage, and historic landmarks.
Tiffany, the daughter of Donald Trump and actress Marla Maples, married Michael Boulos in 2022. Since then, the couple has often been spotted together at family celebrations, public appearances, and international events.

Tejashwi Yadav To Lead Major RJD Organisational Overhaul After MLC Polls; Bihar Chief Mangani Lal Mandal Likely To Be Replaced

Patna: RJD national working president Tejashwi Yadav may effect a major organisational rejig after the MLC polls, scheduled next month.
In the party`s organsiational overhaul, RJD is also likely to have a new Bihar chief, replacing the incumbent Mangani Lal Mandal. Ahead of the organisational rejig, Tejashwi is scheduled to hold meetings with the party’s district presidents, senior leaders, and party workers.
Senior RJD leaders will hold discussions in these meetings to formulate strategy for strengthening the party at the booth level. The announcement of the new team is expected to follow immediately thereafter. It is widely believed that, in addition to the state president, leaders holding various other organisational positions will also be replaced.
Mandal was made state RJD president last year. Recently, Mandal created a flutter in party circles after he expressed his displeasure regarding the working methods of party leaders and workers.
He alleged that several important events were being organised without informing senior office-bearers, and that party protocols were not followed. He also warned that strict disciplinary action would be taken against those found violating party norms.
Amid the speculation over Mandal’s potential departure, names of former ministers Kumar Sarvajeet and Alok Mehta are doing the rounds for the post of state party chief.
Sarvajeet is considered the frontrunner in this race. He is the RJD MLA representing the Bodh Gaya assembly constituency and is known for his close proximity with both party chief Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi.
The second major name in this race is Alok Mehta. He possesses extensive political experience at both the central and state levels in Bihar. He is a former MP and currently serves as the RJD MLA from the Ujiarpur constituency.
He is widely regarded as having a strong command over the party’s grassroots cadre. The third name in contention is that of RJD MP Sudhakar Singh. He is the son of the former state RJD chief, Jagdanand Singh.
