Long‑Running Plot Allocation Saga Leads to Contempt Proceedings Against JDRA Heads

What began as a lottery‑based allocation of plot number 454 under the Nilay Kunj Housing Scheme has evolved into a multi‑year legal battle. After waiting a year without receiving possession, the applicant approached the District Consumer Commission, which in 2016 ordered JDA to issue a possession letter. JDA’s failure to comply prompted the filing of a contempt petition in 2020. The complainant alleges that JDA not only re‑allocated the original plot to another person but also offered a different plot (number 194) that was later given away. A subsequent allocation of plot number 7 in Phase‑2 of the scheme saw the complainant pay the full amount, only for JDA to modify the layout and shrink the frontage, depriving him of the full entitlement. The commission’s latest action—issuing arrest warrants—reflects the escalation of the dispute into a criminal contempt matter.
