After the Centre issued notice for breach of lease conditions in March, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has sent a notice to Sir Sobha Singh and Sons for pending property tax payments for the elite Sujan Singh Park complex in the national capital.
The company that manages the complex located next to Khan Market was sent a notice under Section 72 of the NDMC Act on April 7 with details of dues from 1998 till 2013 totalling around ₹23 crore. The notice asked the company to appear before the authority with the relevant evidence of its lease or license deed. According to two sources, the company is yet to do so.
Amid an ongoing legal tussle over the leased property, the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry’s Land and Development Office (L&DO) had issued notices on March 7 and April 9 seeking a total of ₹742 crore in “misuse charges” for Sujan Singh Park (South) and Sujan Singh Park (North).
