The Delhi High Court has directed the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) to maintain status quo regarding the operation of the luxury tourist train Maharaja Express till the next date of hearing. The court directive came on a plea of tour and travel operator Cox & Kings challenging the notice of IRCTC terminating the joint venture agreement, Economic Times reported. Cox & Kings had said the notice was illegal as its consent was not obtained before terminating the agreement. According to the report, the company also alleged IRCTC was not allowing it to operate the luxury tourist train, which was granted on lease to the joint venture company in which both are stakeholders. Royale Indian Rail Tours Ltd, a joint venture of IRCTC and Cox and Kings India Ltd, operates the luxury train.
