Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the Letters Patent Appeal concerning the conversion of leasehold land to freehold by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). The Court emphasized that sub-division of land cannot occur without an amendment to the layout plan as per the Delhi Development Authority Act, 1957. The Court found that the DDA was willing to consider conversion of the plot as a whole, and the appellant's refusal to pay the entire amount was a significant factor in the dismissal of the appeal.
