HC nixes PIL against DMRC-DAMEPL pact
The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to entertain a public interest litigation (PIL) alleging that the agreement between a Reliance Infrastructure subsidiary, Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited (DAMEPL) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), pursuant to which an arbitral award of over Rs 4,600 crore was earlier passed against the corporation, was “fraud on public money.”
A Bench headed by Justice Manmohan said the PIL, filed by lawyer Manohar Lal Sharma who alleged that the agreement would result in the Delhi Metro “going into the hands of Anil Ambani”, was misconceived, half-baked and without any basis.
