Baseless amid Immunity

COURTHOUSE,
Dec 30 – The Consulate General
of India in New York City has
sued 834 Fifth Avenue in a
property dispute dating back
to 1930. Inner City Press
found the complaint and
exhibits in the public docket
of the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York, which it covers
closely.
Beginning in June
2024 Indian diplomat Vishal
Jayeshbhai Harsh began
emailing about an easement.
A company called
Modern Ruins replied that it
would not be possible. Then
counsel for 834 accused the
Consulate of "baseless
assertions."
A legal
notice and then the lawsuit
followed.
This while
Consulates and UN Missions -
like the UN - routinely assert
legal immunity; the UN has
banned Inner City Press from
entering to report, without
any appeal or even response to
pro bono counsel's inquiry.
We'll have more on this.
The case is
Consulate General of India in
New York v. 834 5th Avenue
Corporation, et al.,
1:24-cv-09913 (Engelmayer)
