Despite seeking relief from the Delhi High Court on Thursday, Moitra did not receive a stay on the eviction notice. Justice Girish Kathpalia noted the absence of specific rules addressing the eviction of MPs from government accommodations after their term ceases.
Moitra's expulsion from Lok Sabha resulted from an ethics panel's findings of "unethical conduct," specifically for allegedly accepting gifts from businessman Darshan Hiranandani and sharing her Parliament website user ID and password with him.
The panel's inquiry originated from a complaint by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, accusing Moitra of targeting the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her Lok Sabha questions at the behest of Darshan Hiranandani, in exchange for gifts.
