Khatri Hotels P.Ltd.& Anr vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' appeal against the Delhi High Court's judgment, affirming that the suit land, originally belonging to the Gaon Sabha, was vested in the Central Government under Section 150(3) of the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954, following urbanization under Section 507(a) of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957. The Court ruled that the subsequent transfer of the land to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) under Section 22(1) of the Delhi Development Act, 1957, for development as green space was valid, and the appellants' claims of ownership and construction were illegal. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appellants' claims for title and injunction.
