Centre Takes Possession Of Jaipur Polo Ground In Delhi After HC Refuses To Halt Eviction Order

Last Updated:June 13, 2026, 13:40 IST

The Delhi High Court refused to halt the eviction order passed on May 20, directing the Jaipur Polo Ground to vacate its premises for a "larger purpose".

The Centre took possession of the multi-acre Jaipur Polo Ground in Delhi’s Race Course area on Saturday, formally asserting its control over the premises managed by the Indian Polo Association (IPA) after an eviction order was passed on May 20, directing the land to be used for a “larger public purpose and benefit."

This came after the Delhi High Court refused to halt the eviction order after an advance copy of an application calling for an interim stay was not submitted. The court had previously expressed concern over the Centre’s move against Gymkhana Club and the Jaipur Polo Ground over environmental risks.

More details to be added.
