‘No coercive action on Gymkhana Club for now’
NEW DELHI: The Centre on Thursday assured the Delhi High Court that it would not take any coercive action for now against Delhi Gymkhana Club over its eviction from the 27.3-acre premises on Safdarjung Road.
The assurance came during the hearing of pleas by club member Vijay Khurana and others seeking a stay on the June 29 eviction notice issued by an Estate Officer of the Land and Development Office (L&DO). The matter was heard by Justice Avneesh Jhingan.
“We will not take any action in a coercive manner. The (earlier) statement continues. We will not take any coercive action (till the next date),” Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma, appearing for the government, told the HC.
