KULDEEP SINGH vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the Letters Patent Appeal regarding the sub-division of land under the Delhi Development Authority Act, 1957. The Court ruled that the lessee's right to assign part of the premises does not permit sub-division without amending the layout plan, as stipulated in the Act. The Court affirmed that the DDA, as the perpetual lessor, must approve any such changes, and the appellant's unwillingness to pay for the entire plot undermined his claim.
