¶15

This writ petition is filed on behalf of the Petitioner under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking directions to DDA to convert property bearing MIG Flat No.137-B, Block-U&V, First Floor, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi from leasehold to freehold in the name of Petitioner.

¶16

Learned counsel for DDA appearing on advance copy of the writ petition submits that till date the Petitioner has not furnished any document which shows ownership/title of the Petitioner and sans that no conversion can be carried out. It is also urged that title disputes cannot be raised in a writ jurisdiction and hence the petition is not maintainable.
