Mount Carmel School Society vs D.D.A

The Supreme Court held that the Delhi Development Authority's policy decision to allot only two acres of land, despite the Delhi Master Plan providing for four acres for educational institutions, was arbitrary and discriminatory. The Court emphasized that the recommendations made by the Institutional Allotment Committee should be honored unless there are valid reasons for deviation. The appeal was allowed, and the DDA was directed to reconsider the allotment in light of the recommendations made in favor of the appellant society under the Societies Registration Act.
