The Delhi High Court questioned the Centre’s move to reclaim land occupied by major sporting institutions, warning against the loss of green spaces in the capital. Expressing concern over worsening environmental conditions, the Court observed that unchecked urbanisation could severely impact public health and quality of life.
Delhi High Court heard the Delhi Gymkhana Club case, with the Centre saying police would not move in on June 5 and eviction will follow due process, while Justice Avneesh Jhingan termed the plea as premature.
Delhi Gymkhana Club approached the Delhi High Court after the Central government ordered it to vacate the 27.3-acre property by June 5. Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi sought hearing, and Justice Avneesh Jhingan listed case for May 26.
