Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Delhi High Court, affirming that the appellants did not possess a vested right to claim plots of a specific size under the Delhi Development Authority (Disposal of Developed Nazul Land) Rules, 1981. The Court clarified that the DDA is not obligated to allot plots of a particular size based solely on recommendations, as the Rules do not impose such a requirement. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that allotment size is at the discretion of the DDA based on availability and other factors.
