This directive, issued by the Division Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, requires the DDA to review the application from the Shree Hanumant Dharmik Ramleela Committee (Regd.) within one week.

The plot in question, Plot No. 8A, CBD Shahdara, had previously been used for Ramleela events by the applicant in 2022.

However, the DDA had rejected the recent request, citing its allocation to the Department of Law, Justice & Legislative Affairs (LA) of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) for the development of residential quarters for judicial officers.
