Centre Takes Possession of Jaipur Polo Ground in Delhi After Court Denies Stay
The Central Government took physical possession of the 15.20-acre Jaipur Polo Ground in Delhi's Race Course area following a May 20 eviction order citing the land's use for a "larger public purpose and benefit," though specific plans remain undisclosed. The Indian Polo Association (IPA), which managed the ground, challenged the eviction in court but was denied interim relief by both the Delhi High Court and a district court. Officials from the Land Development Office displayed notices asserting government ownership and warning against unauthorized use. The IPA has called the eviction wrongful and plans to pursue legal remedies.
