The Delhi High Court on Monday (April 23) granted two months’ time to Delhi Flying Club (DFC) to completely evacuate the premises (on which currently its employees are residing) with some riders.

The single-judge bench of Justice Rajiv Shakdher said that DFC’s employees will only take their own belongings and nothing else apart from it.

“Between 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, the employees can collect the things. And they (employees) can’t claim possession over the premises in any manner,” the bench directed while disposing of the petition.

The bench was acting on the plea seeking a writ of mandamus to ask the government to constitute the Airports Appellate Tribunal. The petition also seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the Airports Authority of India not to evict the DFC workers as it decided in January 2017.
