HC cancels land acquisition in Greater Noida - India News - IBNLive

New Delhi: The Allahabad High Court on Monday cancelled the acquisition of 170 hectares of land in Gulistanpur in Greater Noida.

Over 100 farmers had approached the High Court against the land acquisition and the petition was being heard for three to four months in the court.

The Uttar Pradesh government considered transferring a part of the land to private real estate developers.

However, the Allahabad High Court struck down the acquisition and has also ordered to pay for any monetary loss to any farmer.

This is the third time that the Allahabad High Court has cancelled land acquisition, therefore, putting a question mark on the land acquisition policy.
