Delhi HC Allows Parking Fees for Hospitals, Commercial Buildings
The Delhi High Court said hospitals and commercial buildings like malls can charge for parking.
The court made this decision after a case involving Apollo Hospital in Delhi.
The court disagreed with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), who argued parking fees shouldn't be charged.
MCD said parking areas weren't part of a building's total space.
However, the court said this idea was incorrect.
This decision clarifies that these businesses have the right to charge for parking.
The Delhi High Court ruled that hospitals and commercial buildings can legally charge parking fees.
The ruling was in response to a case involving Apollo Hospital in Delhi.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) contested the charging of parking fees.
