Open To Businessman Navneet Kalra To Assail Suspension Order: Delhi High Court

Navneet Kalra's counsel Gurinder Pal Singh submitted that the registration certificate was cancelled by the authorities by an order dated July 23 and nothing survived in the petition.

The Delhi High Court Friday said that businessman Navneet Kalra, an accused in the case of alleged black marketing of oxygen concentrators during the second wave of the COVID-19, was free to assail in accordance with law the cancellation of the registration certificate to run his restaurants ''Khan Chacha'' and ''Town Hall'' in upscale Khan Market. Justice Rekha Palli, who was hearing Kalra's petition challenging a show-cause notice and order suspending the registration certificate, clarified that she was not expressing any opinion on the claims made in his plea. "It will be open to the petitioner (Kalra) to assail the order in accordance with law. This court has not expressed any opinion on the claims," the judge said. Kalra's counsel Gurinder Pal Singh submitted that the registration certificate was cancelled by the authorities by an order dated July 23 and nothing survived in the petition. Kalra had challenged the May 11 order-cum-show cause notice issued by the Joint Commissioner of Police (Licensing) and the subsequent suspension of the registration certificate to run the two eateries in Khan Market here.
