Ranchi: The Jharkhand High Court on Monday extended the stay on the demolition of 'Kailash Kothi', a property situated on the premises of the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi, and directed the deputy commissioner to verify the documents claiming the ownership of the property.
A division bench, comprising Chief Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Justice Rajesh Shankar, was hearing a petition filed by a person named Khushbu Singh, claiming ownership of ‘Kailash Kothi’.

During the hearing, Singh also produced documents to state the ownership of ‘Kailash Kothi’ before the court. The petitioner claimed that the property was never acquired by RIMS.
The high court directed the deputy commissioner to verify the documents presented by Singh, and also produce the gadget notification for plot number 1,694 in ‘Morabadi Mauja’ on which ‘Kailash Kothi’ was constructed, reports PTI.
