Delhi Gymkhana Club and Staff Challenge Centre's Eviction Notice in Delhi High Court
The Delhi Gymkhana Club and its Staff Welfare Association have filed petitions in the Delhi High Court challenging the Central Government's eviction proceedings from their 27.3-acre premises at 2, Safdarjung Road, Lutyens' Delhi. The government, citing termination of the club's perpetual lease and the need for defence infrastructure, issued a show-cause notice under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. The court is scheduled to hear the matter on July 6, with the club seeking a stay on the eviction notice, arguing the government's reasons are vague and the lease termination is disputed.
