Delhi High Court's Sharp Remarks On Khan Chacha Owner's Plea: "You Compel..."

Justice Rekha Palli questioned the authorities for not having passed a final order yet in pursuance to the show cause notices issued with regard to the two restaurants.

The Delhi High Court Tuesday asked the police to take instructions on Navneet Kalra's plea challenging the suspension of registration of his restaurants 'Khan Chacha' and 'Town Hall' in a case related to alleged black marketing of oxygen concentrators during the second wave of COVID-19. Kalra, arrested by Delhi Police on May 16, was granted bail on May 29. Justice Rekha Palli questioned the authorities for not having passed a final order yet in pursuance to the show cause notices issued with regard to the two restaurants. "You compel people to come here. You should have passed an order by now. Ultimately, he wants to run them. If he is not entitled in law, please pass an order. What is this - you are involved in an FIR - and that is the end of it?" the judge said.
