The Delhi High Court Tuesday stayed an eviction order served on film star and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Vinod Khanna, asking him to vacate his government bungalow here if he agreed to furnish an undertaking in the matter by March 15.

Judge Manmohan Sarin stayed the eviction order served on Khanna by the Directorate of Estates subject to his giving an undertaking to the estate officer to vacate the premises at 4 Pandit Uma Shankar Dixit Marg by March 15.

Khanna had approached the court against the eviction order and said the alternative accommodation allotted to him at Purana Quila Road was not ready to move in to as renovation work was still in progress there.

He was handed a letter Feb 17 that said the alternative accommodation was ready to inhabit but this was not the case, he said.

Khanna further alleged the Directorate of Estates was illegally seeking to evict him from his current premises.
