Delhi High Court Orders DDA to Process Property Conversion Applications Within Two Months
The Delhi High Court has ordered the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to process all pending applications for converting leasehold properties to freehold within two months. The court noted that Rs 155.06 crore has already been collected from residents for these conversions. While pending applications must follow the existing policy, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and DDA are expected to formulate a new policy for future cases. The court rejected a proposal to delay processing for up to a year, emphasizing the difficulties faced by property owners awaiting decisions.
