In the order dated 04.02.2025, an additional contention was noticed with regard to urbanisation of the land by a notification dated 24.10.1994 issued by Municipal Corporation of Delhi, and notification dated 19.08.2002 of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi. 4. Mr. Sindhwani submits that respondent Nos. 5 and 6 in the present writ petition have filed a suit against the Gaon Sabha, in which the purported urbanisation proceedings and effect thereof have not been adverted to, at all. The writ petitioner herein is not a party to the said suit, but Mr. Sindhwani submits that the suit by respondent Nos. 5 and 6 would also be affected by the aforesaid urbanisation notification which divests the Gaon Sabha of authority over the land. 5. Ms. Deepika V. Marwaha, learned Senior Counsel for respondent Nos. 5 and 6, on the other hand, submits that an application for impleadment of Delhi Development Authority had been filed in the suit on the ground that the suit land has been urbanised and transferred to DDA. That application was rejected by an order of the Trial Court dated 06.04.2022. The said order is handed up in Court, and is taken on record. 6. In view of the aforesaid, I am of the view that the petitioner may be permitted to withdraw the writ petition with liberty as sought. It is not necessary to pass further orders or directions with regard to suit between respondent Nos. 5 & 6 and Gaon Sabha. The fact of urbanisation has evidently been brought to the notice of the Trial Court. If any party is aggrieved, the rights and remedies of the parties flowing out of orders in the suit are independent of the present proceedings, and the disposal of This is a digitally signed order.
