Supreme Court lets Delhi Gymkhana Club members move HC against Centre takeover

The Supreme Court allowed 11 Delhi Gymkhana Club members to move the Delhi High Court against the Centre's takeover and eviction action. The order reopens their challenge while leaving maintainability and other legal objections to be decided there.

The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Delhi High Court to consider a plea by 11 members of the Delhi Gymkhana Club against the Centre's decision to take over the club's 27.3-acre premises and the subsequent eviction proceedings.

A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana was told that the Delhi High Court had earlier declined to entertain the plea on the ground that only the club could challenge the Centre's decision.

The court then allowed the members to move the High Court, subject to objections that may be raised by the other side on maintainability and other legal grounds.

Senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for the club members, told the Supreme Court that the High Court had asked them to obtain a clarification from the apex court that they could also approach it. Singh had earlier submitted that the club was currently being run by a committee nominated by the central government and therefore could not fight a legal battle against the government.

In a separate case on September 3, the Centre told the Delhi High Court that it would not take any coercive action till September 16 in connection with the club's eviction from its Safdarjung Road premises.

The High Court was hearing petitions by club member Vijay Khurana and others seeking a stay on the June 29 show-cause notice issued to the club's management by an estate officer of the Land and Development Office.

In their petition filed through lawyer Nitin Saluja, Vipin Aggarwal and 10 other members sought the quashing of the resumption notification issued by the Land and Development Office on May 22 and the show-cause notice issued by the estate officer on June 29.

The Supreme Court's order now allows the members to pursue their plea before the Delhi High Court, where questions on maintainability and other objections can also be considered.
