SC allows Delhi Gymkhana Club members to raise management takeover concerns before HC
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed 11 members of the Delhi Gymkhana Club to approach the Delhi High Court with their concerns over the Centre’s takeover of the club’s management and proceedings to evict it from its 27.3-acre premises.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant and comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana disposed of the members’ plea, granting them the liberty to either file a fresh petition before the high court or intervene in an existing case concerning the club’s eviction.
Senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for the members, told the court that a Centre-nominated committee was currently running the club and, therefore, could not effectively challenge the government’s actions.
