Himachal Pradesh Wins Important Legal Battle; Wildflower Hall Property Awarded ₹401 Crore

Chief Minister Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu stated that the state government will continue its efforts to protect the interests of the people of Himachal. After Chamiyana and Tanda, robotic surgery will now commence at IGMC Shimla. Meanwhile, a Congress leader has demanded three CBSE schools in his area.
The State Pollution Control Board also organized an awareness program on the message of Harid Deepawali.

Legal Victory Secures ₹401 Crore from Wildflower Hall Property

The Himachal Pradesh government has achieved another significant legal success. Mashobra Resort Ltd. will receive ₹401 crore from the Wildflower Hall property. The state has become the sole owner of this company.
The Himachal Pradesh High Court, in its October 14, 2025 judgment, ordered that Rajya Samyukta Udyam Company receive ₹320 crore along with 50% shareholding and interest against capital. Additionally, the company will receive ₹25 crore and ₹13 crore from East India Hotels.

East India Hotels (EIH) will be transferred to Rajya Samyukta Udyam Company in exchange for ₹136 crore, providing an additional benefit of ₹68 crore. It is notable that MRL was originally owned by East India Hotels and Rajya Samyukta Udyam Company.

This legal battle spanned nearly 30 years. Thanks to the special support and efforts of CM Thakur Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, the High Court, on February 20, 2024, transferred ownership of the entire Wildflower Hall property to the state. The government obtained property rights on March 31, 2025.
