Club and staff challenge Centre's eviction notice; Delhi High Court hearing set for July 6 over Lutyens' Delhi property. The legal battle could impact the future of the historic club.
The Delhi Gymkhana Club and its Staff Welfare Association have filed petitions in the Delhi High Court, contesting a show-cause notice from the central government. The notice seeks eviction of the club from its property at 2, Safdarjung Road in Lutyens' Delhi. Justice Avneesh Jhingan will hear the matter on July 6.
The club has occupied the site for decades. The government's notice marks a recent escalation in the dispute over the land. The petitioners argue that eviction would disrupt operations and affect hundreds of staff members, according to the legal filings.
The court's decision will determine the immediate future of the club. The hearing is set for next week.
