Herald Building Case: Centre claims lease agreement being violated

The Delhi High Court is scheduled to pronounce its verdict on a plea by associated journals ltd, publisher of national herald, which has challenged centre's order ending its 56-year-old lease asking it to vacate the premises at ITO here. The court on the last date had asked the centre what was the justification to re-enter the premises now when publication of national herald has commenced. The centre and the land and development office had told the court that re-entry notice was issued as it had initiated the proceedings back in 2016 when no printing or publishing activity was going on.
