Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ petitions challenging the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) allotment of plots under Rule 6 of the Delhi Development Authority (Disposal of Developed Nazul Land) Rules, 1981. The Court found that the appellants did not have a vested right to claim plots of a specific size, as the DDA's allotment process was based on a draw of lots among available plots of different sizes. The Court concluded that the DDA's actions were not discriminatory and that there was no obligation to allot plots of any particular size based on recommendations, affirming the High Court's decision.
