Estate Officer. Accordingly, the application filed by the appellant for interim stay is dismissed. The court said, “I am of the considered view that appellant has failed to make a prima facie case for stay of the impugned order dated August 11, 2026 passed by the Ld. The court, in its detailed order, dismissed the club’s contentions of not being supplied a copy of the plaint and also the club’s argument regarding payment of rent, stating the amount deposited was in fact, the net recoverable amount towards damages up to July 2013. Through a special leave petition filed on August 13, the club was challenging the Delhi High court’s May 27 decision, allowing the continuation of eviction proceedings of the Race Club by the Centre.
“It is well settled law that mere payment of rent after the expiration of the terms of the lease deed cannot be construed as renewal of the lease which has already expired,” the court said.
The court’s order came hours after the matter was heard before division bench of justice Satish Chandra Sharma and justice Nongmeikapam Singh, who granted liberty to the district judge to decide the matter without being influenced by the Delhi High Court’s earlier orders.
A Delhi court on Tuesday dismissed a plea moved by the Delhi Race Club, seeking an interim stay on an eviction order issued by the central government earlier this month, observing that the club authorities failed to make a prima facie case in their favour. The order was passed by principal district and sessions judge Pitamber Dutt of the Patiala House courts.
