Delhi HC will examine Sir Sobha Singh & Sons' appeal against an appellate ruling favoring the Centre in the Ambassador Hotel property dispute at Sujan Singh Park. Centre assured eviction proceedings under Public Premises Act will run independently.

Why this matters

Ambassador Hotel's tenure at Sujan Singh Park has been contested for decades; the parallel HC appeal and Public Premises Act eviction track raise real risk to the property's continued operation under Sir Sobha Singh & Sons.
