Supreme Court orders DDA to refund ₹164.91 crore to Reliance

Supreme Court orders DDA to refund ₹164.91 crore to Reliance The Supreme Court of India recently directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to refund over ₹164.91 crore to Reliance Eminent Trading and Commercial Limited, paid by it in 2007 for purchase of a commercial plot in Jasola [Reliance Eminent Trading and Commercial Pvt Ltd v. Delhi Development Authority] After the acquisition of the subject land by DDA was declared as lapsed by Delhi High Court in 2018, Reliance lost its rights over the plot purchased in a public auction. It then led to a civil dispute between Reliance and DDA over refund of the amount. A Bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and Atul S Chandurkar rejected DDA's submission that Reliance continued to retain possession of the land and lost it only due to some miscreants. The Court added that DDA cannot retain the bid amount or seek possession of the land from Reliance as the title of the land had gone back to its original owner. "The defence of the DDA herein is fanciful as they seek to claim the possession from the appellant herein, whereas it is now for the erstwhile owners to seek appropriate remedies. In addition, it is necessary to observe that once, on a petition filed by the erstwhile owner, lapsing of the acquisition was directed with liberty of re-acquisition, the auction proceedings have lost their efficacy," the Bench said. The Court was hearing an appeal filed by Reliance against a Delhi High Court order.
