Dlf Universal Ltd. & Anr vs Director, T.&C.; Planning Haryana & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the powers of the Director, Town and Country Planning under the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975, specifically addressing whether the impugned order was ultra vires. The Court held that the Director's directions to delete certain fees from agreements and to refund charges were beyond his authority, thus rendering the order void. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petitions.
