These are among the several unresolved questions hanging over the Delhi Gymkhana Club, according to internal records reviewed by The Indian Express, even as the Government has asked the capital landmark to vacate its 27.3-acre plot for “strengthening and securing defence infrastructure” — a matter now in court.
