The Directorate of Estates has dispatched a team to execute the eviction of former Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra from her government bungalow in Delhi. This action follows the Delhi High Court's decision to deny a stay on the eviction notice issued to Moitra, directing her to vacate the premises.
Moitra, in her plea challenging the eviction notice from the DOE, had cited medical reasons to urge the high court to restrain the authorities from evicting her from the government bungalow following her expulsion.
Justice Kathpalia stated,"To conclude, in view of the pendency of the issue of expulsion of petitioner (Moitra) before the Supreme Court and the issue of extension of time to vacate the government accommodation being inextricably linked with that, coupled with the fact that as on date petitioner has no right, this court is not inclined to invoke jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India at this stage to restrain the operation of the impugned eviction order. Accordingly, the application stands dismissed," the court said in its order.
