The Patiala House Court issued the attachment in favour of Enviro Infra Engineers Pvt Ltd after the municipal council failed to honour a 2020 arbitral award.

District Judge Vidya Prakash, citing repeated non-compliance by the council to disclose its assets, said, "This is a fit case for issuance of warrants of attachment against the immovable property of the judgment debtor, Bikaner House, New Delhi."

The court also barred the municipal council from transferring, selling, or encumbering the property in any form and scheduled the next hearing for November 29.
