Plea against notice to Gymkhana Club: Delhi High Court asks Centre to reply
The Delhi High Court has asked the Centre to respond to petitions challenging an eviction notice issued to the Delhi Gymkhana Club. The government claims the land is required for defense infrastructure, while the club and its staff are seeking a stay on the proceedings.
Why it matters
The dispute pits the government's authority to reclaim land for public purposes against the property rights and operational continuity of a historic institution.
The Delhi High Court on Monday asked the Centre to respond to petitions filed by a club member and employees’ association of the Delhi Gymkhana Club challenging the June 29 show-cause notice by the Estate Officer of the L&DO, asking the club and all its occupants to explain why eviction proceedings should not be initiated under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act. The notice had directed the club to submit its response by 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday.
