Former Union minister Sharad Yadav, disqualified from Rajya Sabha membership in December 2017, on Thursday approached the Supreme Court seeking to retain his bungalow in Lutyens Delhi, where he has been residing for the last 22 years.Yadav has challenged the Delhi High Court's March 15 order which asked him to vacate the government bungalow in 15 days.Filing the appeal through advocate Javedur Rahman, Yadav in his appeal against the High Court order said that his challenge to the Rajya Sabha Chairperson's decision disqualifying him is still pending before the High Court and that he could not be evicted from the bungalow given his "grave health conditions" till a final decision is rendered by the High Court.Yadav has challenged the High Court which directed him to vacate within 15 days a government bungalow here on the ground that he was disqualified as a Rajya Sabha MP in 2017 and so there can be no justification for retaining it.It had directed Yadav to hand over the bungalow at 7, Tughlak Road here to the government within 15 days saying more than four years have elapsed since he was disqualified as an MP.The petition by the 75-year-old Yadav said he is in the "unfortunate position" where he has suffered great prejudice as almost his entire tenure has elapsed without him being able to represent his State in the Rajya Sabha.Yadav's appeal in the top court stated, "He is not receiving any salary or other perquisites and now his sole residential accommodation where he has been residing for the last 22 years are sought to be taken away without him having had an effective hearing on merits before any judicial authority."His case "deserved sympathetic treatment" on account of his ill health, stated the plea, adding that he has been hospitalised 13 times since July 2020 and was last discharged in February.It further said, "As such, the impugned order directing relocation will require exertion, stress, and exposure to general public and place the life of the petitioner in peril.'He said his current term of Rajya Sabha is expiring on July 7, 2022 at the end of which, he would in any event be required to vacate the residential accommodation. "As such, no grave prejudice would be caused to the Respondents (Centre) if the Petitioner is allowed to continue in his residential accommodation till the end of his term," added the plea.The plea which, as an interim relief, has sought a stay on the High Court order of March 15, said Yadav has challenged the order of disqualification by way of a writ petition.The petition said Yadav was disqualified from the Rajya Sabha on December 4, 2017 in terms of Paragraph 2(1)(a) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution for purportedly having given up the membership of his party. Yadav was then an MP of Bihar's ruling JD(U), which had sought his disqualification for attending an opposition rally in Patna.The High Court order had come on an application filed by the Centre seeking to lift a stay on the vacation of the government bungalow occupied by him in the national capital as he was disqualified as an MP.It had said until and unless Yadav's disqualification is set aside, he has no right to occupy the government accommodation. The High Court had added that the provision of perks, including residential accommodation, are provided to the functionaries of the state to enable them to discharge their duties.Yadav had approached the High Court in 2017 challenging his disqualification from Rajya Sabha on several grounds, including that he was not given any chance to present his views by the House chairman before he passed the order.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
