NEW DELHI: A last ditch attempt to stall demolition of Hall of Nations in Pragati Maidan was made on Friday in the Delhi high court by an architect who had designed one of the buildings.
Raj Rewal's plea was dismissed by a single bench on Thursday, prompting him to approach a division bench.
On Friday acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Anu Malhotra refused to issue any interim directions on the plea, but did wonder why a proposed centre to replace Hall of Nations is coming up in the middle of the capital.
