Document background
The Disposition And Development Agreement (DDA) is a crucial legal instrument in Pakistan's property development sector, used when public authorities transfer property to private developers for specific development purposes. This document type emerged from the need to ensure proper development of public lands while protecting public interest and maintaining regulatory compliance. It combines elements of property transfer, development obligations, and regulatory requirements under Pakistani law, including provisions from the Contract Act 1872, Land Acquisition Act 1894, and relevant development authority regulations. The agreement is particularly important in urban development projects, special economic zones, and large-scale infrastructure developments where public-private collaboration is essential. It provides a structured framework for property disposition while ensuring development aligns with public policy objectives and urban planning requirements.
