Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha on Tuesday moved the Delhi High Court challenging the trial court order which granted a nod and paved the way for the Rajya Sabha secretariat to evict him from Type VII bungalow allotted to him in July last year.
The matter was mentioned before a division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula which allowed it for listing on Wednesday, Live Law reported.

According to news agency PTI, Chadha’s counsel submitted that the Member of Parliament has been served with a notice and eviction proceedings are going on. She said earlier there was a stay from the trial court but now it has been removed.
On October 5, the trial court, in an order, said Raghav Chadha could not claim that he had an absolute right to continue to occupy the government bungalow during his entire tenure as a Rajya Sabha MP even after the cancellation of the allotment.

The trial court had made the observation while vacating an interim order passed on April 18 that had directed the Rajya Sabha Secretariat not to dispossess Chadha from the government bungalow.
It noted that the interim relief was granted to Chadha that he would not be dispossessed from the accommodation without due process of law.
