G.N. KHAJURIA vs D.D.A.

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) decision to permit a nursery school in a park area, determining that this action violated Sections 7 and 8 of the Delhi Development Act, 1957. The Court held that the DDA was obligated to adhere to the zonal development plan, which reserved the land for park use, thus rendering the school's establishment unlawful. Consequently, the Court ruled in favor of the appellants, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with statutory provisions in urban planning.
