Mahua Moitra receives third notice: Fresh notice to vacate her government-allotted accommodation
This is the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/delhi-high-court-asks-mahua-moitra-to-approach-directorate-of-estates-over-cancellation-of-govt-accommodation-23328234" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">third notice</a> served to Moitra by the Directorate of Estate, under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, asking her to vacate her official bungalow and comes shortly after she was expelled from the Lok Sabha in connection with the `cash-for-query` case.
"The Applicant vide Letter dated 08.01.2024 requested to initiate eviction proceedings against, you under the provisions of Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971," the notice of Office of the Estate Officer and Assistant Director of Estates (Litigation), Directorate of Estates read, reported ANI.

Mahua Moitra receives third notice: TMC leader has Delhi High Court
The TMC leader had approached the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/expulsion-from-lok-sabha-cji-to-take-call-on-listing-of-mahua-moitras-plea-says-sc-23324771" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Delhi High Court</a>, seeking the quashing of the notice issued by the Directorate of Estate cancelling her government accommodation in the national capital, reported ANI.
The plea stated that a notice had been issued to her on December 11, 2023, which directed her to vacate the house by 7.01.2024, failing which proceedings under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants Act) 1971 (`PP Act 1971`) will be caused to be initiated, reported ANI.
The plea prayed to allow her to retain possession of her government accommodation till results of the 2024 General Elections.
It also stated that the absence of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/trinamool-congress-leader-mahua-moitra-expelled-from-lok-sabha-23323950" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">government accommodation</a>, however, poses a significant impediment to the petitioner`s ability to host and engage with party members, parliamentarians, fellow politicians, visiting constituents, key stakeholders and other dignitaries, which is essential, especially in the lead up to a general election.
Moitra was on December 8, 2023, expelled from the Lok Sabha after a discussion on the report of the Ethics Committee in the `cash for query` that was tabled in the Lower House.
Moitra, who was not allowed to speak during the discussion inside the House, said that the Ethics committee broke every rule.
The expelled Lok Sabha MP alleged that she has been found guilty of breaching a code of ethics that `does not exist`.
The Ethics Committee report probing `Unethical Conduct` of the TMC MP had recommended that Moitra "may be expelled" from the Lok Sabha and called for an "intense, legal, institutional inquiry" by the central government in a "time-bound manner".
The report was adopted by a 6:4 majority in the panel last month. The report on Moitra`s cash-for-query case revealed that she visited the UAE four times from 2019 to 2023 while her login was accessed several times.
