Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the authority of the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority regarding the use of residential plots for non-residential purposes, emphasizing compliance with statutory provisions. The Court held that any deviation from the designated use of residential premises is a violation of the lease terms and the Master Plan, thereby affirming the authority's power to cancel leases or take corrective action against misuse. The judgment underscores the necessity for uniform application of law by development authorities to uphold public interest and statutory compliance.
