Bombay High Court Stays BMC Eviction of YMCA Gymnasium and Wrestling Arena
The Bombay High Court has stayed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) eviction attempt of the YMCA's gymnasium, quarters, and traditional wrestling arena at Willingdon Ground in Mumbai. The BMC issued eviction notices citing hygiene concerns after a local councillor's complaint, but the YMCA challenged the move, citing longstanding possession, maintenance, and authorized structures. The court restrained the BMC from taking coercive action pending further orders, halting an eviction operation involving police and civic officials.
