The Indian Polo Association (IPA), which operates the 15.20-acre Jaipur Polo Ground in the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi, Monday withdrew its petition that sought the appointment of an arbitrator to resolve its dispute with the Centre over the land.
Instead, the IPA wants “at least” 500 acres of land within the national capital be allotted to it as an alternative to the Jaipur Polo Ground.
The Delhi High Court permitted the IPA to withdraw the plea, dismissing the petition.
