M/S Sethi Auto Service Station & Anr vs Delhi Development Authority & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court dismissing the appeals of M/s Sethi Auto Service Station and M/s Anand Service Station for re-sitement of their petrol pumps, citing the lack of alternative land availability from the Airport Authority of India under the policy of the Delhi Development Authority. The Court emphasized that the appellants did not have a legitimate claim for relocation as the DDA's decision was based on a thorough evaluation of the situation. The Court affirmed that the DDA's discretion in land allotment matters is not subject to judicial interference unless there is a clear violation of statutory provisions or principles of natural justice.
