Plea of private education bodies rejected
The Delhi high court has rejected the plea of a group of private educational institutes seeking a direction to DDA to allot them a land at a cheaper rate rather than auctioning at market price for establishing higher/technical education institutes and schools.
Dismissing a bunch of petitions, a division bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and S.K. Mishra said, “The clear mode of disposal of land for hospitals, dispensaries, higher or technical education institutes and schools, would continue to be by way of auction” while referring to the amended rules in 2006 with regard to the DDA Act.
