Delhi High Court Restrains Coercive Action Against Le Meridien in License Renewal Dispute

The Delhi High Court has restrained authorities from taking coercive action against Hotel Le Meridien over a renewal of its Eating House and Lodging Licenses.

The court directed that the renewal be proceeded without requiring a Health Trade License, which was cancelled by the NDMC in 2017 and remains under judicial review.

Despite a stay on the cancellation, authorities allegedly insisted on the license for further renewals. The hotel argued this violates prior court orders and disrupts core operations, including serving alcohol.

The Court has issued notice to the concerned authorities and sought responses within four weeks. The next hearing is scheduled for August 5.
