As observed by the Tribunal, post independence, \u201cThis ruling elite culture seeped into independent India through usage of this club.\u201d The Union Government contended that Club was registered as a Company under S. 8 and has been continuing for more than hundred years on 27 acres of land leased out by the then Government and hosting highly positioned Government Officers and non-government people limiting access to the privileged people. It was further submitted that many people, who applied for membership, could not get in even after decades of waiting period because permanent members\u2019 children sneak into the club through various ways, for eg. &#8211; as dependents; as green card holders; as UCP Holders, thereby short-circuiting the waitlist order. The money taken from the waitlist applicants is being used by the persons coming through various channels, which according to the Government is unfair and prejudicial to the interest of the public. On the contrary, the DGC contended that it can do whatever its Articles of Association permit; the Government cannot question the club holding it out as prejudice to the public interest. The DGC also contended that there was non- application of mind on the part of the Government while forming their opinion on the conduct of DGC\u2019s affairs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Perusing the contentions, the Principal Bench observed that when any organisation is <strong>\u2018basking in the past glory on the State largess\u2019<\/strong>, the shadow of Article 14 of the Constitution will fall upon such organisation. It is no doubt if anybody comes in the way of forming clubs or associations, or continuation of those associations, such right shall not be truncated, but \u201cthe right of forming association cannot be extendable to say that it has right to use acres of land of the state for lazing around barbing the club so that let-in to others is next to impossible\u201d. The Tribunal also noted that how the counsels for the DGC in their contentions kept insisting on the DGC is a privileged club to high level officers, judges, eminent persons, business men. The Tribunal stated that Section 241 of the Companies Act, 2013 deals with something that is unfair. It may seemingly be fair and right on surface, but at the bottom, it manifests prejudice to the public at large or a member or company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The Tribunal upon observing the admission process noted that only who are in top position in the Government and outside the Government become members. Moreover the DGC enjoys the Govt. land in the prime area of Lutyen\u2019s Delhi and is sitting on the monies of the public in the name of entrance fees or registration fees, on the contrary opening the Club membership only to the family members of permanent members or their descendants, thereby making the membership hereditary. All this shows imperial behaviour and insensitiveness of the Club against the tenets of democracy. Therefore it can be said that the Club affairs are relevant to the public, thus DGC\u2019s conduct is prejudicial to public interest. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">[Union of India v.
