DELHI DEVELOPMENT AUTH. vs AJIT SINGH . — C.A. No. 7471/2010

Case Summary: Delhi Development Authority v. Ajit Singh (C.A. No. 7471/2010) The Supreme Court allowed Delhi Development Authority's appeal against the Delhi High Court's Division Bench judgment that had quashed DDA's conversion of land in Narela Residential Project's Pocket 11 into smaller plots (236 plots of 18 sq. mts. and 664 plots of 12.5 sq. mts.) for allocation to slum dwellers. The Division Bench had relied on the Wazirpur Bartan case and held that such conversion required compliance with Section 11A procedures. However, the Supreme Court found the impugned judgment was primarily based on the Wazirpur precedent, which had been set aside the previous day. The Court did not decide the appeal on merits but remitted the matter to the High Court for fresh disposal of the respondents' letters patent appeal.
