thebalanced.newsCongress Seeks Delhi High Court Order to Execute Sale Deed for Former Headquarters
The Indian National Congress (INC) has petitioned the Delhi High Court seeking execution of a sale deed for its former headquarters at 7, Jantar Mantar Road, which it has occupied since 1946. The party paid over Rs 6.10 lakh in 1959 for the property, but the deed was never executed due to disputes following the 1969 party split. The court has asked the Centre and Delhi government to respond, while questioning the petition's maintainability and the need for a civil suit.
