Centre\u2019s standing counsel said land occupied by the polo ground, along with nearby establishments such as Delhi Gymkhana Club, was being taken over for public purpose as there was limited space in central part of the capital.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NEW DELHI: Delhi high court<\/a> on Monday voiced concern over the Centre\u2019s proposed takeover of prominent properties in Lutyens\u2019 Delhi, including Delhi Gymkhana Club (DGC) and the polo ground, warning that the move could adversely affect the capital\u2019s urban landscape.Observing that further construction in the area could place additional strain on the city\u2019s infrastructure, the court remarked, \u201cDelhi will choke. God save us all if this is how you want Delhi to live.\u201dThe observations came while a vacation bench of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna was hearing a plea filed by Indian Polo Association seeking a stay on a govt notice directing it to vacate the 15.2-acre Jaipur Polo Ground in the Race Course area.Centre\u2019s standing counsel Ashish Dixit said the land occupied by the polo ground, along with nearby establishments such as DGC, was being taken over for public purpose as there was limited space in central Delhi and govt functions needed to be carried out from there.Reacting to the submission, the bench remarked, \u201cThe little breather we have in the NDMC area is also going to go and all of us are going to suffocate and die.\u201d It added that the \u201clittle green space\u201d remaining in the NDMC area was also being taken over.Disposing of the plea, high court directed the Patiala House court to hear the association\u2019s stay application on Wednesday. Indian Polo Association has challenged the Estate Officer\u2019s May 20 eviction order and has also sought an interim stay under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971.The association\u2019s plea stated that although coercive eviction was imminent on June 4, neither the appeal nor the urgent stay application was considered by the district judge on June 3. Instead, notice was issued and the matter was adjourned to July 23.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
