Delhi High Court stays execution of eviction notice served on Maharaja Ranjit Singh Gaewad (now deceased) for property on 7, Safdarjung Lane, New Delhi.
Eviction notice was served upon the Maharaja in Aug 2002, on which stay was earlier granted on Sep 2002.
The Maharaja had occupied the property since then against a payment of Rs. 7,500/- as lease rental amount. Counsel seeking stay submitted that the lease amount is paid upto date.
At this, Chief Justice DN Patel remarked, "This is Delhi, not a village in Baroda".
We will grant you stay subject to deposit of Rs. 10 lakhs per month to the respondent authorities, until decision on the stay application or the Letters Patent Appeal, whichever is earlier.
