Authority: Supreme Court of India, Civil Appellate Jurisdiction

Order Date: 05 October 2026

Case Overview

  • Parties: Delhi State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (DSIIDC) (Appellant) vs. M/S. Systems India Pvt. Ltd. & Ors. (Respondent); Delhi Development Authority (DDA) represented by counsel Ms. Malvika Kapila.
  • Procedural History:
  • DDA allotted land parcels to DSIIDC in the 1970s‑80s for industrial sheds under the Half a Million Job Programme (840 sheds) and Self‑Financing Scheme (456 sheds).
  • 2005 GNCTD notified a Conversion Scheme for industrial plots/built‑up sheds; DIDOM Act 2010 made DSIIDC the nodal agency.
  • DSIIDC approved conversion on 10‑02‑2011 and began conversion at Kirti Nagar Packaging Complex and Mangolpuri Engineering Complex in 2012.
  • Issues arose: no methodology for multi‑storeyed units, lease deeds for Kirti Nagar not executed by DDA, and several policy/legal questions.
  • Allottees filed writ petitions in 2018 (W.P.(C) Nos. 179/2018, 9220/2018, 9268/2018, 9270/2018). The Single Judge upheld DSIIDC’s stance on 22‑05‑2019; Division Bench reversed on 29‑03‑2023 directing conversion processing.
  • DSIIDC filed SLP (Civil) Diary No. 46550/2023; DDA filed SLP (Civil) Diary No. 13550/2025 after its review petition dismissal. Both SLPs listed for hearing on 07‑08‑2026.
  • Meeting: Record of Discussion dated 22‑09‑2026 records a meeting chaired by the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor on 06‑08‑2026, attended by CS, ACS Industries, GNCTD, Vice‑Chairman DDA, Commissioner (Land Disposal) DDA, and MD DSIIDC.
  • Resolution Highlights:

1. Conveying Authority: DDA, as lessor and title‑holder, will process and execute free‑hold conversion and levy applicable conversion charges/fees.

2. Condition Precedent – Clearance of Dues: DSIIDC must ascertain and recover all outstanding dues from each allottee; issuance of a No‑Objection Certificate (NOC) by DSIIDC to DDA confirming clearance is mandatory before DDA proceeds.

3. Inter‑Agency Reconciliation: Any residual legal or financial disputes between DDA and DSIIDC are to be settled internally, without affecting individual allottee conversions.

4. Parties agreed to abide by the resolution terms.

Final Outcome

  • The Supreme Court condoned delay, granted leave, and disposed of the appeals in accordance with the Record of Discussion.
  • All pending applications, if any, are ordered disposed of.
  • The conversion process is now defined: DDA executes conversion, DSIIDC recovers dues first, and inter‑agency issues are to be reconciled separately.
