DELHI DEVT.AUTHORITY vs JAI SINGH KANWAR . — C.A. No. 8289/2010

Case Summary: Delhi Development Authority v. Jai Singh Kanwar (C.A. No. 8289/2010) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and set aside the Delhi High Court's judgment dated 22.4.2008, dismissing the writ petition for plot allotment. The Court found that respondent Jai Singh Kanwar failed to meet eligibility requirements under the DDA's rehabilitation scheme: the original land loser (Chhajju Singh) owned a house in 1969 and thus was ineligible to apply, and his descendants could not retroactively claim benefits after his death. The Court noted, however, that this decision does not bar the legal heirs from separately claiming compensation for the remaining unacquired land if entitled under law.
