Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of land allotment for educational institutions under the Delhi Master Plan, specifically questioning the Delhi Development Authority's policy decision to allot only two acres of land to the appellant despite recommendations for four acres. The Court held that the DDA's decision was arbitrary and inconsistent, particularly as another society received four acres under similar circumstances. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition and directing the DDA to reconsider the allotment in light of the established recommendations.
