Delhi High Court Dismisses Jockey Association's Plea Against Delhi Race Club Eviction
The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition by the Jockey Association of India challenging the eviction order against the Delhi Race Club. The court held that the Association lacked legal standing as it is not a lessee and has a statutory remedy to appeal the eviction. The eviction order, issued by the Estate Officer on August 11, directs the Club to vacate its 53-acre premises within 15 days. The Association argued the eviction would harm jockeys and horses, but the court noted the Club itself has appealed the order.
