Members of the historic Delhi Gymkhana Club have resolved to take legal action against the Central government's eviction order, according to a senior member. General P K Sehgal (retired), who has been associated with the club since 1972, stated that the members unanimously agreed to challenge the eviction order in court.
Background of the Eviction Order
The Centre had issued an eviction order against the Delhi Gymkhana Club, a prestigious institution in the national capital. The order has sparked widespread concern among the club's members, who view it as an infringement on their rights and the club's heritage.
Members' Response
General Sehgal emphasized that the decision to move court was taken after careful deliberation. He said, 'We have been part of this club for decades, and it holds immense sentimental value. The eviction order is unjust, and we will fight it legally.' The club, established in 1913, has a long history and is known for its social and sporting activities.
Legal Proceedings Ahead
The members are now preparing to file a petition in the appropriate court, seeking to quash the eviction order. Legal experts have been consulted, and the club's management is confident of a favorable outcome. The case is expected to draw attention due to the club's prominence and the implications for other similar institutions.
As the matter unfolds, the club continues to operate normally, with members hopeful that the legal challenge will succeed. The eviction order has also prompted discussions about the preservation of heritage clubs in India.
