Mahua Moitra moves Delhi High Court challenging notice to vacate government bungalow

Expelled Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday approached the Delhi High Court challenging the Directorate of Estates’ notice to vacate the government bungalow which was allotted to her but was canceled after her expulsion. Justice Girish Kathpalia is scheduled to hear Moitra’s plea against the eviction notice soon.

A notice to vacate the bungalow immediately was issued to the Trinamool Congress leader on Tuesday.

Moitra, who was expelled from the Lok Sabha on December 8 last year, was earlier asked to vacate the house by January 7 after her allotment was cancelled.

She was held guilty of “unethical conduct” and expelled from the House for allegedly accepting gifts and other benefits from businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for asking questions targeting his business rival Gautam Adani.
