The Delhi Development Authority has told the Delhi High Court that it will give physical possession of the plots to successful applicants within one and half years. This is like a ray of hope to 25,000 home seekers who had applied in a DDA housing scheme 30 years ago.

G S Patnaik, Vice Chairman of DDA, filed an affidavit before a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra saying the lay out plans, regarding 21, 328 plots, at various residential pockets in Rohini have already been approved by a screening committee.

Earlier, the High Court had come down heavily on DDA for delay for over 30 years allotment of plots to 25,000 home seekers.
