UNION OF INDIA vs D.C.M. LTD. .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Delhi Development Authority's resolutions dated August 1, 1986, and November 3, 1986, restoring the earlier resolution of February 1, 1983, which allowed the Delhi Cloth Mills to shift and redevelop its non-conforming area. The Court noted that the factory's closure was ordered and a settlement had been reached between the employer and employees, rendering the basis for the DDA's review moot. The Court dismissed the appeals filed by the Union of India and DDA, affirming the High Court's ruling under the Delhi Development Authority Act, 1966, and Section 25(D) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
