Rajasthan High Court (Jaipur Bench), Justice Anand Sharma, order dated 24/11/2025 in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 4568/2015: Smt. Shanti Devi sought direction to the non-petitioners to approve plot/shop No. 29 (S-29) allotted to her in the Mahaveer Nagar Scheme, Jaipur, laid out by New Pink City Grah Nirman Sahakari Samiti Limited between 1977-1981 (about 880 plots, five parks, 30 shops), whose plan went first to the erstwhile UIT and then to the Jaipur Development Authority; despite a 12.04.1984 Level-II building-plan-committee decision fixing a 60:40 ratio between approvable plots and facility area, the plot remained unregularized, with the petitioner contesting for around 40 years. JDA's counsel stated the society's scheme did not accord with prevailing rules and required facility area had been allotted to various allottees. Without deciding entitlement, the Court disposed of the petition, directing the petitioner to submit a detailed representation with all supporting documents before the Secretary, JDA, who was to pass a speaking order within two months of receipt, and, if the representation were decided in the petitioner's favour, issue necessary approval orders/lease deeds.
