Sikri, J. <\/p>\n<p> 1. One Mr. Kailash Gahlot, a resident of Vasant<br \/>\nKunj filed Petition under Article 226 of the<br \/>\nConstitution of India in this Court being CWP No. 3100<br \/>\nof 2001 which was treated as Public Interest<br \/>\nlitigation. In this Petition Mr. Gahlot<br \/>\nstated that in Vasant Kunj a commercial complex which<br \/>\nwas situated adjacent to the residential block being<br \/>\nPocket C-6 and C-7 was under construction. The complex<br \/>\nand the residential block shared a common boundary wall<br \/>\nas per the sanctioned lay out\/development Plan<br \/>\nprepared\/passed by the Delhi Development Authority<br \/>\n(hereinafter referred to as DDA, for short). But<br \/>\ncontrary to the Development Plan the main boundary wall<br \/>\nsupporting the residential block and commercial complex<br \/>\ni.e. the local shopping centre, had been illegally<br \/>\ndemolished\/broken by the builder\/promoter of the<br \/>\ncommercial complex. As a result of this, it was<br \/>\nfurther alleged, that it had created a security risk to<br \/>\nthe residents of the residential colony. After issuing<br \/>\nnotice to Municipal Corporation of Delhi (hereinafter<br \/>\nreferred to as MCD, for short) and Delhi Development<br \/>\nAuthority (hereinafter referred to as DDA, for short)<br \/>\nwho were arrayed as respondents and after hearing the<br \/>\nparties this Writ Petitions was disposed of by Order<br \/>\ndated 10th July, 2001 by a Division Bench of this court<br \/>\ndirecting as under:-\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Counsel for respondent No. 1 submits that<br \/>\naccording to her instructions, the<br \/>\nboundary wall in question has already<br \/>\nbeen repaired. This assertion is,<br \/>\nhowever, denied by the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to the petitioner, the boundary<br \/>\nwall has not been repaired.\n<\/p>\n<p> We direct that the boundary wall in<br \/>\nquestion be repaired properly, if not<br \/>\nalready repaired, within two weeks.\n<\/p>\n<p> This petition is disposed of with these<br \/>\nobservations.\n<\/p>\n<p> A copy of this Order be given dusty to<br \/>\ncounsel for respondent No. 1 to ensure<br \/>\ncompliance.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. However, the matter has not rested here. This<br \/>\nOrder itself has given rise to further litigation which<br \/>\nis prompted by Super Restaurant Pvt. Ltd. (petitioner<br \/>\nin CWP No. 6425\/2001) who had purchased a plot in<br \/>\nauction at local shopping centre. The Super Restaurant<br \/>\nhas filed on CM. 11004\/2001 in CWP No. 3100\/2001 seeking<br \/>\nrecalling of afore-mentioned Order dated 10th July,<br \/>\n201 under Order 1 Rule 10 of the Code of Civil<br \/>\nProcedure for impleadment, if necessary, as a party to<br \/>\nthe Writ Petition.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. M\/s. Super Restaurant has also filed a<br \/>\nsubstantive Writ Petition being 6425 of 2001.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. Factual background narrated by M\/s. Super<br \/>\nRestaurant in the Writ Petition runs thus: It had<br \/>\npurchased in auction a plot at the local shopping<br \/>\ncentre, Section C-6 and 7, Vasant Kunj in December 1996<br \/>\nat a cost of RS. 3,85,50,000\/-. The purpose was to<br \/>\nconstruct a Guest House, for which the DDA has<br \/>\nspecifically auctioned the plot in question. The<br \/>\npossession of this plot was handed over to M\/s. Super<br \/>\nRestaurant by the DDA on September 1, 2000 and on<br \/>\nSeptember 4, 2000 a purported Lease Deed was also<br \/>\nexecuted in its favor by the DDA.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. In February 2001 M\/s. Super Restaurant<br \/>\nnoticed that the Residents Welfare Association<br \/>\n(hereinafter referred to as RWA, for short) started<br \/>\nconstructing illegal structure on the western side of<br \/>\nthe local shopping centre purported to be a Guard Room<br \/>\nin contravention of the sanctioned lay out Plan of the<br \/>\nlocal shopping centre. When various representations<br \/>\nmade by M\/s. Super Restaurant did not yield any<br \/>\nresult, it filed a Suit for permanent and mandatory<br \/>\ninjunction in the Court of Civil Judge on 4th April,<br \/>\n2001. In fact two days before i.e. on 2nd April, 2001<br \/>\nthe RWA had converted the said Guard room into a<br \/>\ntemple. On 9th April, 2001 Ms. Madhu Jain, Civil Judge<br \/>\npassed an injunction Order restraining RWA from raising<br \/>\nany further illegal construction. At this juncture<br \/>\nwhen the said Suit was pending, Mr. Kailash Gahlot filed<br \/>\nCWP No. 3100 of 2001, the purpose of which was to<br \/>\nscuttle the proceedings before the Civil Judge in the<br \/>\ncase pending between M\/s. Super Restaurant and RWA. In<br \/>\nview of the order dated 10th July, 2001 passed in CWP<br \/>\nNo. 3100 of 2001 since the Suit of M\/s. Super Restaurant<br \/>\nwas rendered infructuous it withdrew the Suit on 28th<br \/>\nSeptember, 2001 with liberty to file such appropriate<br \/>\nproceedings as necessary and in these circumstances<br \/>\nM\/s. Super Restaurant filed Review Application being<br \/>\nCM.11004\/2001 in CWP No. 3100 of 2001 as well as CWP<br \/>\nNo. 6425 of 2001.\n<\/p>\n<p> 6. Stated in brief the case of M\/s. Super<br \/>\nRestaurant is that as per the lay out Plan of the local<br \/>\nshopping centre as well as residential complex there is<br \/>\nno wall which has been constructed. According to it,<br \/>\nthe DDA had represented that the said boundary wall<br \/>\ntowards the eastern side of the local shopping centre<br \/>\nwas a temporary structure which was constructed at the<br \/>\ntime when the flats of the residential complex were<br \/>\nunder construction and assured M\/s. Super Restaurant, at<br \/>\nthe time of auction, that the said boundary wall would<br \/>\nbe removed. It is on this representation of the DDA<br \/>\nthat M\/s. Super Restaurant participated in auction and<br \/>\nbid for the plot in question at a hefty price. In<br \/>\nthese circumstances, the prayer made in the Writ<br \/>\nPetition reads as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p> 1. The order dated 10.7.2001 be recalled and<br \/>\nbe set aside and respondents be directed<br \/>\nto restore the status quo ante as<br \/>\nexisting before passing of the order<br \/>\ndt. 10.7.2001 passed by this Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\nCourt.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. The order dated 10.7.2001 in the<br \/>\nalternative be held not binding on the<br \/>\napplicant nor the respondent No. 1 for<br \/>\nimplementing by the respondent 1 and\/or<br \/>\n2 of the lay out plan of the Local<br \/>\nShopping Centre of Pocket 6 &amp; 7,<br \/>\nSector-C, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. The applicant be made a party to the<br \/>\npresent writ petition for the purposes of<br \/>\nthe reliefs claimed in the present<br \/>\napplication and also for prayer of the<br \/>\napplicant for dismissal of the writ<br \/>\npetition.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. The present writ be dismissed with heavy<br \/>\ncosts being a gross abuse of the process<br \/>\nof the court.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. Ex-parte and pendente lite orders in<br \/>\nterms of prayers 1 and 2 be also granted.\n<\/p>\n<p> 7. At the time of arguments, Mr. Valmiki Mehta,<br \/>\nlearned senior counsel appearing for M\/s. Super<br \/>\nRestaurant submitted that Order dated 10th July, 2001<br \/>\npassed in CWP No. 3100 of 2001 needed to be recalled as<br \/>\nit was obtained without impleading M\/s. Super Restaurant<br \/>\nas a party and by suppressing the material facts.<br \/>\nThus, according to the learned counsel, it clearly<br \/>\ntantamounted to obtaining the Order by fraud and<br \/>\ntherefore was to be treated as nullity. In support of<br \/>\nthis submission, the learned counsel pressed into<br \/>\nservice the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case<br \/>\nof S.P. Chengalvaraya Naidu (dead) by Lrs. v.<br \/>\nJagannath (Dead) by Lrs. and Ors. reported in (1994)<br \/>\n1 SCC 1 submitting that it was categorically held<br \/>\ntherein:-\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Fraud avoid all judicial acts,<br \/>\necclesiastical or temporal&#8221; observed<br \/>\nChief Justice Edward Coke of England<br \/>\nabout three centuries ago. It is the<br \/>\nsettled proposition of law that a<br \/>\njudgment or decree obtaining by playing<br \/>\nfraud on the court is a nullity and non<br \/>\nest in the eyes of law. Such a<br \/>\njudgment\/decree &#8211; by the first court or<br \/>\nby the highest court &#8211; has to be treated<br \/>\nas a nullity by every court, whether<br \/>\nsuperior or inferior. It can be<br \/>\nchallenged in any court even in<br \/>\ncollateral proceedings.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 8. Learned counsel also referred to another<br \/>\njudgment of the Supreme court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/427502\/\">Budhia<br \/>\nSwain and Ors. v. Gopinath Deb and Ors.<\/a><br \/>\nreported in (1994) 4 SCC 396 in support of his<br \/>\nsubmission that a Court had the power to recall an<br \/>\nOrder earlier made by it if:-\n<\/p>\n<p> (i) The proceedings culminating in the order<br \/>\nsuffer from inherent lack of jurisdiction<br \/>\nwhich is patent.\n<\/p>\n<p> (ii) Fraud or collusion have been used to obtain<br \/>\nthe judgment;\n<\/p>\n<p> (iii) There has been a mistake by the court<br \/>\nprejudicing a party; or   <\/p>\n<p> (iv) a judgment has been rendered in ignorance of<br \/>\nthe fact that a necessary party had not been<br \/>\nserved at all or had died and the estate was<br \/>\nnot represented.\n<\/p>\n<p> 9. His submissions was that since fraud or<br \/>\ncollusion had been practiced to obtain the Order dated<br \/>\n10th July, 2001 in the instant case inasmuch as even<br \/>\nDDA did not come forward with correct factual position,<br \/>\nthe Order warranted to be recalled.\n<\/p>\n<p> 10. On Merits, submission of Mr. Valmiki Mehta, was<br \/>\nthat since there was no such wall shown in the lay out<br \/>\non Zonal Plan the prayer made by Mr. Kailash Gahlot in<br \/>\nCWP No. 3100 of 2001 for restoration of the said wall<br \/>\nwhich was a temporary structure and was rightly removed<br \/>\nby the DDA, was totally misconceived. His submission<br \/>\nwas that the entire purpose for which M\/.s Super<br \/>\nRestaurant had purchased the plot i.e. for Guest House<br \/>\nwould be defeated as the space left between the said<br \/>\nwall and the structure of the M\/s. Super Restaurant<br \/>\nwas not sufficient for cars to come in the Guest House<br \/>\nof M\/s. Super Restaurant as there was no scope for<br \/>\nmanoeuvrability of the vehicles coming into the Guest<br \/>\nHouse. His submission was that even if for ensuring<br \/>\nsafety of the residents of the residential block the<br \/>\nexistence of boundary wall was necessary, it could be<br \/>\nshifted by a few yards which would serve the interest<br \/>\nof both, namely, shopping complex as well as<br \/>\nresidential blocks. For this purpose he referred to<br \/>\nthe judgment of this Court in the case of Vasant Kunj<br \/>\nResidents Welfare Association and Anr. v. The<br \/>\nLt. Governor of Delhi and Ors.    where the solution to the problem was found<br \/>\nby the Court in the following manner:-\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Pleading have been completed. Learned<br \/>\ncounsel for the respondent\/DDA relying on<br \/>\nthe additional affidavit submitted that<br \/>\nthe opening that had been left are<br \/>\nstrictly in accordance with the lay out<br \/>\nplan of Vasant Kunj and as per the<br \/>\nrequirement of the master plan. it is<br \/>\nfurther submitted that at the time of<br \/>\nallotment of various shops the existence<br \/>\nof these approaches to the shopping<br \/>\ncomplex was made known to the licensees<br \/>\nand the allottees. Therefore, if any<br \/>\nattempt was now made to close or shut<br \/>\ndown the openings, it would adversely<br \/>\naffect the interest of the allottees and<br \/>\nlicensees having shops and establishments<br \/>\nin the shopping complex. It would also<br \/>\nbe a breach of the understanding and<br \/>\nconditions given to the allottees at the<br \/>\ntime of auction of the shopping complex.\n<\/p>\n<p> I have perused the lay out plan, as<br \/>\nfiled. The openings are shown there.<br \/>\nHence there is considerable merit in the<br \/>\nsubmission of the respondent\/DDA, as<br \/>\nnoted above. The petitioner,<br \/>\naccordingly, would not be entitled to a<br \/>\nmandamus requiring the respondent\/DDA to<br \/>\nconstruct a boundary wall and close the<br \/>\nopenings. However, one of the possible<br \/>\nsolutions which commends to the Court<br \/>\nfeasibility of which may be considered<br \/>\nand examined is the installation of gates<br \/>\nin some of the main openings.\n<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner, if so advised, may approach<br \/>\nthe authorities with the proposal of<br \/>\ninstallation of gates, provided the same<br \/>\nare property manned, round the clock, and<br \/>\ndo not block ingress and egress through<br \/>\nthe said gates. This would, of course,<br \/>\nentail expenses being met by residents<br \/>\nand agreement\/understanding being reached<br \/>\non this account between the petitioners,<br \/>\nresidents, shopkeepers\/allottees and the<br \/>\nconcerned authorities.\n<\/p>\n<p> 11. The contention of Mr. Kailash Gahlot and RWA on<br \/>\nthe other hand, was that existence of boundary wall was<br \/>\nnecessary to ensure the security of the residents of<br \/>\nSection C-6 and C-7, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. The<br \/>\nsubmission was that boundary wall was in existence for<br \/>\nlong, which was constructed by DDA itself and there was<br \/>\nno reason to remove the same. Such boundary wall were<br \/>\nin existence in every such locality throughout Delhi<br \/>\nand it was not peculiar to this residential colony. In<br \/>\nsupport of this submission Mr. Gahlot placed reliance<br \/>\nupon the case .\n<\/p>\n<p> 12. Further submission was that even in the case<br \/>\nof Vasant Kunj Residential Welfare Association (supra)<br \/>\nnecessity for existence of such a boundary wall was<br \/>\nrecognised. They highlighted the problem of law and<br \/>\norder in Delhi and submitted that security risks like<br \/>\nrobbery, burglary, kidnapping, extortion, etc. being<br \/>\nrampant, it was in public interest that boundary wall<br \/>\nin question remained. The learned counsel also<br \/>\nreferred to the site plan and the lay out plan of the<br \/>\narea and submitted that the boundary wall was shown<br \/>\ntherein. It was also submitted that M\/s. Super<br \/>\nRestaurant had legal right to have the boundary wall<br \/>\nshifted. Thus, according to Mr. Gahlot, three was no<br \/>\nneed to recall order dated 10th July, 2001 passed in<br \/>\nCWP No. 3100 of 2001 and rather the Writ Petition field<br \/>\nby M\/s. Super Restaurant warranted dismissal.\n<\/p>\n<p> 13. In order to determine the respective rights of<br \/>\nthese two parties and appreciate the controversy it<br \/>\nwould be appropriate to know the stand of the DDA.<br \/>\nFor, it has brought to fore the factual and legal<br \/>\nnuances of the case and cleared the gloss created by<br \/>\nboth the private parties aiming the advance their own<br \/>\npersonal interests Mr. Ajay Verma and Ms. Gita Mittal<br \/>\nappeared on behalf of the DDA and clarified, with<br \/>\nreference to the lay out plan of the area, that there<br \/>\nwas no provision for boundary wall in question as<br \/>\nregards the Local Shopping Centre as well as housing<br \/>\nSector C-6 and C-7, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. However, it<br \/>\nwas emphasised that before taking up the construction<br \/>\nof the Local Shopping Centre in Sector C-6 and 7, a<br \/>\nstone masonry wall had been constructed in order to<br \/>\nprotect the area from encroachment. After the<br \/>\nconstruction of Local Shopping Centre, the matter was<br \/>\nreconsidered and it was felt necessary to have the<br \/>\nboundary wall segregating the Local Shopping Centre<br \/>\nfrom the residential complex for security of both and<br \/>\nparticularly residents of the residential complex. It<br \/>\nwas further submitted that in so far as M\/s. Super<br \/>\nRestaurant is concerned, no such assurance was given<br \/>\nfor removal of this boundary wall. It was also<br \/>\nclarified that as per the lay out plan in the Local<br \/>\nShopping Centre, a particular area was specifically<br \/>\nearmarked for parking. This was the practice in all<br \/>\nsuch Local Shopping Centres and visitors to the Local<br \/>\nShopping centre were expected to park their vehicles in<br \/>\nthe said parking area. M\/s. Super Restaurant had no<br \/>\nright to claim more parking area and particularly when<br \/>\none side of its structure faces residential complex.\n<\/p>\n<p> 14. On the other hand, it was contended that even<br \/>\nthe RWA had no legal right to claim the existence of a<br \/>\nwall at a particular place inasmuch as there was no<br \/>\nsuch boundary wall shown in the lay out plan of the<br \/>\nresidential complex and in any case the area in<br \/>\nquestion where the boundary wall at present exists did<br \/>\nnot form part of the residential complex and it was DDA<br \/>\nland of course, because of the security, it was<br \/>\ndecided by the DDA to retain the boundary wall but it<br \/>\nwas the prerogative of DDA to consider whether this<br \/>\nwall should exist. It was also submitted that in so<br \/>\nfar as the so called &#8216;guard room&#8217; converted into a<br \/>\ntemple as constructed by RWA is concerned the same was<br \/>\nillegal.\n<\/p>\n<p> 15. Position as explained by the DDA clarifies<br \/>\nthe ground realities sufficiently, rounds off the edges<br \/>\nand provides the solution which balances the competing<br \/>\ninterest of the parties. It is clear that in so far<br \/>\nas M\/s. Super Restaurant is concerned it has no such<br \/>\nright to claim that the boundary wall be removed or<br \/>\nshifted from the place where it exists at present. In<br \/>\nfact necessity of having such a wall for security<br \/>\nreasons was not seriously disputed before us. The<br \/>\nprayers 1 and 2 made by it in CWP No. 6425 of 2001 are<br \/>\ntherefore not maintainable when there is no such<br \/>\nprovisions in the lay out plan as claimed by it.\n<\/p>\n<p> 16. On the other hand, even the RWA or Mr. Kailash<br \/>\nGahlot have no right to claim the retention of the wall<br \/>\nat a particular place. The area in question does not<br \/>\nbelong to the RWA. CWP No. 3100 of 2001 was filed by<br \/>\nMr. Kailash Gahlot on the premise that the boundary wall<br \/>\nwas being demolished illegally which was necessary for<br \/>\nthe security of the residents. Since it was a Public<br \/>\nInterest Litigation and since the boundary wall for<br \/>\nsecurity was required, the Court passed an Order dated<br \/>\n10th July, 2001. However, at that time the question of<br \/>\nretention of the boundary wall at the existing place<br \/>\nalone was not gone into at all. Order sheet in CWP<br \/>\nNo. 3100 of 2001 reveals that when the notice was issued<br \/>\nand the learned counsel for DDA appeared she informed<br \/>\nthe Court that the matter was under consideration and a<br \/>\ndecision was likely to be taken soon for retaining the<br \/>\nboundary wall. In these circumstances the Order dated<br \/>\n10th July, 2001 was passed for repairing the boundary<br \/>\nwall. The likely dispute between the Local Shopping<br \/>\nCentre an the RWA did not crop up or was visualised.<br \/>\nThe matter was also not considered with reference to<br \/>\nlay out plans and the right of the RWA to have the<br \/>\nboundary wall at a particular place. Therefore, we are<br \/>\nof the opinion that Order dated 10th July, 2001 which<br \/>\nwas passed in the aforesaid circumstances needs to be<br \/>\nrecalled. We Order accordingly. CM.110004 stands<br \/>\ndisposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p> 17. While doing so we put the matter back to DDA<br \/>\nfor appropriate decision. We may notice that during<br \/>\nthe pendency of these cases attempt was made to resolve<br \/>\nthe dispute amicably and parties were directed to<br \/>\nconsider this aspect. For this purpose it was directed<br \/>\nthat Vice Chairman, DDA should hold a meeting with the<br \/>\nparties. However, we were told that since RWA was not<br \/>\nwilling for shifting of the boundary wall, the matter<br \/>\ncould not be amicably resolved.\n<\/p>\n<p> 18. In these circumstances, the two Writ Petitions<br \/>\nare disposed of with the following directions to the<br \/>\nDDA:-\n<\/p>\n<p> 1. To consider the matter afresh and take a<br \/>\ndecision as to whether boundary wall is to be retained<br \/>\nat the existing place or there is a need to shift the<br \/>\nsame to other place.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. Till the time such a decision is taken the<br \/>\nboundary wall shall be maintained as it is. However,<br \/>\nin case the decision is taken to shift the boundary<br \/>\nwall, the present boundary wall shall be demolished<br \/>\nonly after the construction of the new boundary wall.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. The Vice Chairman, DDA shall also take<br \/>\nappropriate decision about the retention\/removal of the<br \/>\nguard room\/temple and if it is found to be illegal, it<br \/>\nwould be permissible for the DDA to remove the same.\n<\/p>\n<p> 19. The Vice-Chairman, DDA would take a decision<br \/>\nof the aforesaid aspects within two months from the<br \/>\ndate of receipt of copy of the Order. Before taking a<br \/>\ndecision, the Vice Chairman, DDA shall give due regard<br \/>\nto the respective stands of both the parties in these<br \/>\ntwo Writ Petitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Super Restaurant P.
