Central government employees, MPs, judges, and other dignitaries, are allotted residential accommodation in the national capital while they are in service and posted in Delhi.

New Delhi: The Lok Sabha Secretariat has asked the Directorate of Estates to initiate eviction proceedings against Aam Aadmi Party leader and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann for “unauthorised” occupation of central government accommodation in New Delhi which was allotted to him as a member of Parliament’s lower house. 

Mann had resigned from the post of Sangrur MP in March to be appointed as Punjab CM. 

According to a report by news agency PTI, the LS Secretariat sent a petition to the Directorate of Estates saying that Mann was allotted the Central government's Duplex No 33, North Avenue, along with its units and 153 North Avenue, as his regular accommodation as a member of 17th Lok Sabha.

"The said allotment stands cancelled in his name with effect from April 14," it said, adding Mann failed to vacate the premises after resignation. 

"It is, therefore requested the proceedings for eviction of Bhagwant Mann, ex-MP and all persons may be initiated and orders for their eviction be passed," reads the petition sent to the estates' officer, PTI reported.

Any comments were not given by Punjab CMO on the issue. As per the official documents accessed by PTI, the accommodation has now been issued to Hanuman Beniwal, the RLP president and an MP from Rajasthan.

Central government employees, MPs, judges, and other dignitaries, are allotted residential accommodation in the national capital while they are in service and posted in Delhi.

As per PTI, after their term expires or ends prematurely, they are no longer eligible to occupy the accommodation. As per PRS Legislative, to evict a person from a residential accommodation, a Central government estate officer first issues a written notice to the individual concerned, after which he/she has to show cause within three working days as to why an eviction notice should not be issued against them.
