Challenge to arbitrary cancellation of plot allotment in Dwarka Sector 22. Client seeks reinstatement of allotment and damages for delay.

Key facts
  • •Client was allotted a residential plot in Dwarka Sector 22 in 2019 after paying the full consideration of ₹42,00,000.
  • •DDA issued a cancellation notice in November 2024 citing failure to commence construction within the stipulated period.
  • •The stipulated construction period was itself extended twice by DDA circulars in 2020 and 2022 during the pandemic.
Legal issues
  • •Whether the cancellation notice is arbitrary and in violation of Article 14.
  • •Whether DDA's own circulars extending the construction period bind the authority.
  • •Whether the client is entitled to restoration and compensation for delay.
What to do next
  1. 1File rejoinder addressing DDA's reliance on Clause 6(iii).
  2. 2Compile DDA circulars from 2020–2022 extending timelines.
  3. 3Seek early hearing given pending interim relief.
