“It is amply clear that allegations with respect to non-payment of the fee are pre-mature and in fact pre-medicated only to malign our clients with an intention to raise the false alarm within the general public. “the legal notice said.
The HMDA has not received any requests for an extension of time from the concessionaire and no such extension of time was granted. the HMDA notice said while describing Revanth Reddy’s statements as ‘patently false and clearly reek of malice.”
The present tender is floated on a TOT basis for operation and maintenance of the ORR for a particular period of time and at no point does the tender seek to transfer the ownership of any of the assets pertaining to the ORR.”
