On Tuesday, the Indian government informed the Delhi High Court that there will be no forcible takeover of the Delhi Gymkhana Club premises before June 5, 2023. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre and the Land & Development Office (L&DO), stated that the club has been given the option to vacate voluntarily before this date. He emphasized that the process would adhere to legal protocols, and the government is authorized to determine the lease based on the lease agreement's terms. Mehta mentioned that compensation could be addressed separately and that alternate accommodation might be offered. The court hearing included pleas related to the ongoing dispute over the club, with senior advocate Kapil Sibal advocating for the club's elected body to have their case heard alongside an existing petition. Additionally, concerns were raised regarding the management of the club by government-appointed nominees, to which Mehta responded that the committee had raised objections in the interest of all members.
