In re: Suggestion for the Government of India concerning the Delhi Gymkhana Club.

I am glad that these Delhi Gymkhana Club members who approached the Delhi High Court failed to get a stay of the notice issued by the Government of India.

However the procedure under the Public Premises Act will have to be followed. This procedure though faster than civil courts is time consuming.

I therefore have a suggestion for the government: Bring an ordinance for the Lutyens Zone giving the government extraordinary powers to acquire land on grounds of national security. Make the ordinance general rather than specific to the Delhi Gymkhana to prevent the courts from staying it.
