The court, in its decision, also said the Ministry of Urban Development may "impose such terms and conditions, which they would be permitted to do in accordance with law" while dealing with the issue of excessive construction by the developer in various residential towers.
Before moving to the ministry, DDA will "give a hearing" to the Project Developer which would be entitled to produce supporting documents on various issues including the alleged excessive illegal constructions in flats, it said.
"... The Ministry of Urban Development will treat this case as a project of national importance, in view of the stand taken by them in the year 2007, when at their instance necessary relaxation was made, with a view to take a holistic view in the matter," it said.
"Both DDA and the project developer would be at liberty to challenge any decision which may be arrived at in any form with regard to the inter se dispute whether arising out of the project development agreement under the DDA Act or Master Plan and the Bye-law," the court said.
DDA and Emaar MGF Construction Pvt Ltd had entered into a project development agreement on September 14, 2007 for construction of CWG Games village here. Emaar MGF was appointed developer to construct the village complex.
Later, disputes arose between DDA and the developer on account of alleged violations of the agreement leading to delay in handing over of flats' possession to purchasers.
