Mahua Moitra has moved the Delhi High Court against the Directorate of Estates' order, terminating her government accommodation by January 7, 2024. She aims to nullify the directive or secure residency until the 2024 Lok Sabha election results.
Moitra contests her expulsion in the Supreme Court and argues the premature nature of the eviction order, pending the apex court's decision on her expulsion's validity. Stressing her candidacy in the 2024 polls, she highlights the housing instability's obstruction to engaging with constituents and political associates, especially during elections.
Moitra, residing alone in Delhi without an alternative dwelling, requests court permission to stay in her current residence until the elections, pledging to cover any associated charges for the extended occupancy.
Key Points:
1. Expelled from Trinamool Congress, Mahua Moitra has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the Directorate of Estates' directive to vacate her government accommodation by January 7, 2024.
2. Moitra's petition aims to revoke the December 11 order or, as an alternative, secure permission to retain the accommodation until the declaration of the 2024 Lok Sabha election results.
3. Her expulsion from the Lok Sabha on December 8 over alleged unethical conduct is under appeal in the Supreme Court, a key argument in contesting the premature nature of the Directorate of Estates' order.
4. Highlighting her candidacy for the 2024 polls, the petition emphasizes the impediment eviction poses to her responsibilities in connecting with constituents and peers, especially during the election period.
5. Moitra, residing alone in Delhi with no alternate residence, appeals to the court to permit her continued stay until the 2024 elections, assuring payment of any applicable charges for the extended tenure.
