Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 25-08-2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Petitioners – Delhi Race Club (1940) Ltd; Respondents – Union of India & others.
- Origin: Special Leave Petition (SLP) No. 29238/2026 filed on 13-08-2026, arising from the impugned final judgment and order dated 26-05-2026 in LPA No. 336/2026 passed by the High Court of Delhi.
- Background: The Single Judge of the Delhi High Court stayed Item No.59 Court No.16 Section XIV on 24-04-2026. The Union of India filed LPA No. 336/2026, which on 26-05-2026 vacated the interim stay order. An eviction order was issued by the Estate Officer on 11-08-2026; an appeal against this eviction order was filed before the District Judge/appellate authority. The present SLP was subsequently filed on 13-08-2026.
- Court Observations: The Supreme Court noted that an appeal is pending before the District Judge/appellate authority and found no reason to interfere with the SLP. It directed that the appellate authority decide the application for stay without being influenced by the earlier orders of the Single Judge or the Division Bench, and that the parties may approach the District Judge/appellate authority for pre‑ponement of the hearing.
Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court dismissed Special Leave Petition No. 29238/2026.
- All pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
- Parties are given liberty to approach the District Judge/appellate authority for pre‑ponement of hearing and to obtain appropriate orders in accordance with law.
