D.D.A vs Gaurav Kukreja

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court allowing Gaurav Kukreja's application for conversion of property from leasehold to freehold, emphasizing that the decree from the civil suit CS (OS) No.2777/1989 holds greater legal weight than a General Power of Attorney under Clause 13(a) of the Conversion Policy. The Court found that Gaurav Kukreja, as the son of the agreement holder and holder of the General Power of Attorney, had a legitimate claim to the property. The DDA's refusal to grant conversion based on title was deemed unjustified given the compliance with the conversion scheme and the decree's validity.
