In Bal Kishan v/s Union Of India & Others., the petitioners filed a writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution, requesting the mutation of their property and its conversion from leasehold to freehold, or, alternatively, the provision of alternative accommodation under the Gadgil Assurance Scheme. The respondent, Delhi Development Authority (DDA), agreed to treat the petition as a representation, assuring that the petitioners would be given a personal hearing.
The DDA promised to dispose of the representation within twelve weeks. The petition was disposed of with the direction that the DDA would consider the petition as a representation and decide the matter accordingly, with a reasoned order, within the stipulated time. The petitioners were also informed that they could take further legal action if aggrieved by the outcome.
