SC to hear Delhi Race Club plea against eviction on August 25
The dispute concerns the club’s occupation of an 84-acre plot on Lok Kalyan Marg. The Centre had argued that the lease granted to the club in 1926 expired on December 31, 1994, and had not been renewed
On August 25, the Supreme Court will hear a plea from the Delhi Race Club against its eviction from an 84-acre plot on Lok Kalyan Marg. The club's eviction proceedings were initiated by the Delhi High Court on May 27, following the club's failure to renew a lease granted in 1926 which expired on December 31, 1994, and had not been renewed.
The club argued that the eviction order was unwarranted and that discussions were underway with the Land and Development Office to resolve the matter amicably, including the possibility of alternative land allocation and orderly relocation. The High Court allowed the club's appeal, but the Centre appealed the decision, leading to the scheduled hearing on August 25.
