MEHTA M. C. Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PERMISSION to file rejoinder stands rejected. This is an application by the industry concerned, Hindustan Vegetable Oil Corpn. Ltd. praying that since the land measuring 1.20 acres on the other side of the factory premises was not being used for any other purpose other than having a staff quarter, the question of handing over the same to Delhi Development Authority pursuant to this Court's order does not arise.

(2.) MR Saharya appearing for Delhi Development Authority, on the other hand, contended that the order of this Court is clear and categorical that all the lands belonging to hazardous factories, which are being closed down and relocated, are required to be handed over to DDA, and therefore, this land measuring 1.20 acres belonging to the factory and situated just abutting the other side of the road should also be treated as a part and parcel and appurtenant to the factory and should be handed over.

(3.) WE ; therefore, direct that in the present facts and circumstances of the case, Hindustan Vegetable Oil Corpn. Ltd. should hand over the two acres of land only on which the factory premises stood.
