D.D.A. vs D.C.M. LTD. & ORS.

The Supreme Court directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to grant conditional approval to the Delhi Cloth Mills' redevelopment scheme for 63 acres, subject to the removal of objections raised by the DDA and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The Court held that the DDA's objections regarding compliance with the Master Plan of 2001 were untenable, as the approval was based on the Master Plan of 1962. However, the Court acknowledged the validity of the DDA's objection concerning the ownership of the land, confirming that the Delhi Cloth Mills only owned 52 acres, while the remaining 11 acres were owned by the DDA. The Court emphasized the need for the DDA to adhere to its prior resolution from February 1, 1983, regarding the scheme's approval.
