The Supreme Court upheld an Allahabad High Court order quashing the Uttar Pradesh notification to acquire 156 hectares of land for construction of residential apartments by private builders in the Greater Noida Extension area of Gautam Budh Nagar district. It ordered the return of the land to villagers. After the Mayawati government transferred the land, the builders started the construction of apartments and thousands of people, commercial institutions and banks invested in the property. In its order, the Bench said the reasons recorded by a Division Bench of the High Court for holding that the State Government ought not to have invoked the urgency clause under Section 17 of the Land Acquisition Act and dispensed with an application under Section 5, as also its conclusion that the entire exercise of acquisition was a colourable exercise, did not suffer from any infirmity requiring interference by this court. “The SLPs filed by the GNIDA and real estate developers and builders, including Supertech and Amrapali, are dismissed".

The amount should be paid in three months. Detailed reasons to follow.
