Respectfully showeth:
1. That the plaintiff has filed the suit for declaration and permanent injunction in this Hon’ble
Court praying therein as under:
"It is therefore most respectfully prayed that, this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to grant a
decree with costs:
(i) Declaring that the defendant’s have no right, title or interest in the land
measuring................ sq. yards out of Khasra No................ of .............. in
possession and occupation of the plaintiff; and declaring further that the
defendant Nos. 1 to 4 have no right in law to eject/ evict the plaintiff
therefrom except through the process of law;
(ii) Restraining the defendants permanently from interfering with the

peaceful possession, occupation, enjoyment and user of the aforesaid

3. That the defendants submit that the suit is also filed against the .................... has been made
defendant No. 1 and as defendant No. 2. Section 53 B of Delhi Development Act provides as
under:
"(i) No suit shall be instituted against the Authority, or any member

thereof, or any of its Officers or other employees, or any person acting
under the directions of the Authority or any member or any Officer or other
Employees of the Authority in respect of any Act done or purporting to
have been done in pursuance of this Act or any rule or regulation made
thereunder until the expiration of two months after notice in writing has
been, in the case of the Authority, left at its Office, and in any other case,
delivered to, or left at the office or place of abode of, the person to be
sued and unless such notice states explicitly the cause of action, the
nature of relief sought, the amount of compensation claimed and the
name and place of residence of the intending plaintiff and unless the
plaint contains a statement that such notice has been so left or delivered.
(ii) No Suit such as is described in sub-section (1) shall, unless it is a suit

for recovery of immovable property or for a declaration of title thereto, be
instituted after the expiry of six months from the date on which the cause
of action arises.
(iii) Nothing contained in sub-section (1) shall be deemed to apply to a

suit in which the only relief claimed is an injunction of which the object
would be defeated by the giving of the notice or the postponement of the
institution of the suit. "
4. That similarly Section 478 of Delhi Municipal Corporation Act provides as under:
"1. No suit shall be instituted against the Corporation or against any

Municipal Authority or against any municipal officer or other municipal
employee or against any person acting under the order or direction of any
municipal authority or any municipal officer or other municipal employee,
in respect of any act done, or purported to have been done, in pursuance
of this Act or any rule, regulation or bylaw made thereunder, until the
expiration of two months after notice in writing has been left at the
Municipal Office and, in the case such Officer, employee or person,
unless notice in writing has also been delivered to him or left at his office
or place of residence, and unless such notice states explicitly the cause
of action, the nature of the relief sought, the amount of compensation
claimed, and the name and place of residence of the intending plaintiff,
and unless the plaint contains a statement that such notice has been so
left or delivered.
2. No suit, such as described in sub-section (1), shall unless it is a suit for

the recovery of immovable property or for a declaration of title thereto be
instituted after the expiry of six months from the date on which the cause
of action arise.
3. Nothing in sub-section (1) shall be deemed to apply to a suit in which

the only relief claimed is an injunction of which the object would be
defeated by the giving of the notice or the postponement of the institution
of the suit.’’
Thus from the aforesaid provisions it will be evident that no suit except for the relief of injunction
can be instituted against the Delhi Development Authority and Municipal Corporation of Delhi. It
will further be seen that the provisions of the aforesaid Acts are same. The defendants 3 & 4
submit that it is a mandatory requirement of law that no suit shall be instituted against the Delhi
Development Authority and Municipal Corporation of Delhi until the expiration of two months
after notice in writing has been given and unless such notice states explicitly the cause of
action, the nature of relief sought unless the plaint contains a statement that such notice has
been so left or delivered.
5. That the defendants 3 & 4 submit that the plaint does not contain any averments to the effect
that a notice under Section 53 B has been given/served upon the Delhi Development Authority
defendant No. 1 and upon Municipal Corporation of Delhi, defendant No. 2, under Section 478
of Delhi Municipal Corporation Act. This being the mandatory requirements, the suit of the
plaintiff is liable to be rejected under Order 7 Rule 11.
6. That the defendant Nos. 3 & 4 submit that in view of the above facts the suit is not
maintainable and liable to be rejected because the notices under the aforesaid provisions
having not been given.
It is therefore, respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court be pleased to reject the plaint of the
plaintiff under Order 7 Rule 11. Such other and further Order which this Hon’ble Court deems fit
and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case be also passed.
Defendent 3 & 4.
