Delhi Race Club Eviction Proceedings Continue After Court Rejects Stay Pleas
The Delhi Race Club is facing eviction from its 84-acre premises on Lok Kalyan Marg after the lease granted in 1926 expired in 1994 and was not renewed. The Estate Officer issued an eviction order on August 11, 2026, under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act. The club's pleas for interim relief and stay on eviction were dismissed by the Patiala House Court and the Supreme Court, which directed the club to pursue appeals through the district court. The government maintains the land is required for public purposes.
