NEW DELHI: In an order dated 23 February, Delhi's Tis Hazari Court has issued attachment warrant against Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) to recover Rs 94,82,805 through its movable properties.
While DPCC office bearers denied to have any knowledge of the court's attachment order, a Delhi Police team also reached Rose Avenue office to implement the orders.
The said case is related to construction of DPCC building in 2004-05. Petitioner Vinod Goel has alleged that his company wasn't paid the promised amount after completing the construction of Delhi Congress office.
VG Construction was allotted tender for the construction of DPCC office in 2001. By 2004, Congress office had been constructed. Owner of VF Construction Vinod Goel alleges that his payment were defaulted because of a tiff between the then Delhi CM Shiela Dixit and DPCC chief Rambabu Sharma. In 2005, he moved High Court from where the case was redirected to Tis Hazari Court.
In January 2017, the court had issued orders to DPCC to pay around Rs 94 lakh to VG Constructions. However, after an year the amount has not been allegedly paid.
The court has now issued orders to attach Delhi Congress office and recover dues of the builder.
