The Narendra Modi government has approached the National Company Law Tribunal seeking civil and criminal immunity for all six members of the committee it appointed in April to run the Delhi Gymkhana Club. The committee was tasked with setting the exclusive club in order following allegations of financial irregularities as well as violation of membership rules.
In a petition dated July 20 to the tribunal, the government prayed that the six directors should not be subjected to any civil or criminal action while they are discharging their duty. The tribunal “may be pleased to declare that the newly appointed directors should not, in discharge of their collective or individual responsibilities, be made subject to any civil and/or criminal and/or punitive action, direct or vicarious or of any nature whatsoever, by the state or Central government agencies”, the petition by the union corporate affairs ministry states.
