Delhi HC Judge Recuses from Delhi Gymkhana Club Eviction Case Hearing
Delhi High Court judge Justice Prateek Jalan recused himself from hearing lawsuits filed by the Delhi Gymkhana Club and its staff association challenging the Centre's eviction order from the club's 27.3-acre Safdarjung Road premises. The judge cited personal reasons for recusal and directed the case to be reassigned. The eviction follows the Land and Development Office's termination of the club's perpetual lease, citing defence infrastructure needs. The Centre has stated it will not take coercive action immediately and considers the lawsuits liable to be dismissed.
