SHORI LAL AND SONS Vs. DELHI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal by special leave is directed against the Order dated 1-2-1985 by which Writ Petition, C.W.P. No. 1264 of 1984 of the appellants was dismissed by the Delhi High Court.

(2.) BRIEFLY stated, the facts are :-

(3.) BUT, on complaints received at a latter stage when it was discovered by DDA that Plots Nos. X-70 and Y-5 in the Naraina Warehousing Scheme allotted in lieu of extents of lands in Premises Nos. 117 and 115 in Motia Khan, had an extent of land far in excess of the extent of the land to the allotment of which appellants were entitled under the settled criteria and such allotment of excessive land had been obtained by Appellant-2 by practising fraud on it, the DDA sought to withdraw the allotment of Plot No. X-70 of 200 sq.yds. in the Naraina Warehousing Scheme made in favour of the appellants. When the DDA sent the communication dated 5-5-1984 to the appellant about the withdrawal of such allotment and the retaking of possession of Plot No. X-70, the appellants challenged the validity of that communication, by filing writ petition, C.W.P. No. 1264 of 1984 in Delhi High Court. BUT the High Court dismissed that Writ Petition by its order dated 1-2-1985. It is the question of sustainability of that order of the High Court which arises for consideration in the present appeal by special leave filed by the appellants adverted to at the outset.
