Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court, which quashed the cancellation of allotment by the DDA, interpreting Clause 1(ii) of the Rohini Scheme. The Court found that the respondent's flat measured less than 65 sq.m, thus qualifying for the exemption under the eligibility criteria. The Court emphasized that the interpretation of the clause must align with Article 14 of the Constitution, ensuring equality in allotment eligibility, and dismissed the DDA's appeal.
