1996 (5) TMI 326 - SUPREME COURT

Whether the DDA can be held bound by such actions of its officials acting beyond their authority, indeed, acting adverse to the interests of the DDA intentionally?

Held that:- The vendor (DDA) applies for vacating it but nothing happens except repeated adjournments. This has happened more than once. We find that as and when Skipper was not able to manage the DDA, he approached the court and it provided him a breather. He then gets time to manage the DDA. This went on up to the end of 1990 when fortunately the Delhi High Court came down like a ton of bricks upon Skipper and which order was affirmed two years later by this court. Ultimately, no doubt, Skipper has met its nemesis but meanwhile hundreds of persons are cheated out of their hard earned monies ; their dreams of owning a flat are shattered rudely.

List the matter for further orders on July 16, 1996.
