Social Jurist, A Lawyers Group vs Government Of Nct Of Delhi And Ors. on 22 March, 2007
12. Though the learned Single Judge as aforesaid, has dedicated
considerable length of the judgment to the power of GNCTD to withhold
disaffiliation of the respondents No. 3 and 4 Colleges from GGSIPU once
the notification under Sec. 3 of the UGC Act had been issued but in our
view that is not the issue here. The real issue at controversy is the
entitlement of the GNCTD to keep an institution which has been granted
land on concessional rates by the DDA on recommendation of GNCTD

under its control and provisions. As will be noticed, the learned Single
Judge also has granted liberty to GNCTD to take whatsoever steps it may be
entitled to in this regard. However, inspite of having held so, learned Single
Judge has further held that since the condition imposed and the undertaking
given at the time of sponsorship were not included in the terms and
conditions of allotment by the DDA, the same no longer govern the
allotment and which is now only on the terms and conditions contained in
the allotment letter. We are, however, of the opinion that the latter part of
the opinion aforesaid of the learned Single Judge cannot be upheld being in
direct conflict with the earlier judgment of the Division Bench of this court
in Social Jurists, A Lawyers Group vs. GNCTD 140 (2007) DLT 698.
There also, a similar argument was raised that the terms and conditions
imposed at the time of allotment and not included in the lease deed
ultimately executed and thus did not bind the allottee/lessee was negatived.
It was held that Sec. 21 of the Delhi Development Act regulates disposal of
the land by DDA, subject to any directions given by the Central
Government; Section 22 specifies the powers of the Central Government to
place at the disposal of the DDA undeveloped lands in Delhi, vested in the
Union of India and known as 'Nazul Land'. It was observed that DDA has a

right to dispose of land after development only in accordance with the
conditions specified by the Central Government and these conditions would
be applicable to such lands even if not specified in the letter of allotment or
the lease deeds executed. It was further held that the allottees cannot pick up
documents of lease in exclusion to preceding and subsequent documents
which completes the rights, privileges and obligations between the parties.
The allottees being hospitals in that case, were thus held liable to grant free
admissions notwithstanding absence of such a condition in the lease deeds
of the land executed in their favour. It was also observed that they cannot
thrive at public costs and State expenses without fulfilling the minimum
conditions imposed upon them to achieve greater social goal and look after
the interest of the public at large. We find that the special leave petitions
preferred against the judgment were dismissed.
