Jaipur, June 3: Jaipur’s famous Hotel Hayat Rabbani which was seized on the allegation of serving beef has finally reopened on Thursday. It was closed for two and half months despite court’s judgment came in favor of the hotel owner as the report by forensic lab proved the allegation false.
The court sent its bailiff to reopen the hotel as civic body was not reopening it despite the court’s order.
On 19th March night, at the call of some members of a local cow vigilante group, the Jaipur Police raided Jaipur’s famous Hotel Hayat Rabbani, forced guests out, arrested co-owner and a cleaner and sealed the hotel. Then, the police collected allegedly left-over meat from the hotel dustbin and sent for forensic test.
As the forensic lab cleared it was not beef, the hotel owner Naeem Rabbani moved the court seeking order for unsealing the hotel.
On 29th April, Additional Civil Magistrate & Metropolitan Magistrate Amarjeet Singh, passed order in favour of the hotel owner and asked the municipal corporation to unseal the hotel within seven days.
But the civic body did not open the hotel and moved the court seeking stay on the order. The court on 23rd May repeated its 29th April order and asked it to open the hotel or face contempt of court charge.
