(1.) This common order will disposed of 18 writ petitions. The facts are almost identical but for the sake of convenience, I have taken WP(C) No.3257/2007 as the lead case.
(2.) In 1996, DDA had invited applications for allotment of 3,500 expandable houses consisting of Category A, one room set and Category B, two rooms set.

Subsequently in the draw of lots held on 21.3.1997, the petitioner was also given a specific flat number.
