Delhi Court Delays Decision in Railways Hotel Scam Case
Imagine a big company that runs hotels, and the person in charge of trains was accused of doing something unfair when giving out contracts for those hotels.
The court is now deciding if there's enough evidence to officially say the train person and others did something wrong.
The company that looks into this kind of thing says there's plenty of proof.
The train person's lawyers disagree, saying there isn't enough.
The court heard both sides and now needs more time to decide, with the next meeting set for early August.
