Supreme Court has criticised Uttar Pradesh government for acquiring prime agricultural land for building luxury flats in Greater Noida, adjoining the national capital.
A bench comprising Justices P Sathasivam and A K Patnaik today questioned the invoking of urgency clause that bars farmers from raising objections. The apex court said, it would not like a situation similar to Nandigaram in West Bengal where steps to acquire land by invoking urgency clause led to large-scale protests and violence.
The hard-hitting observations were made by the court during the hearing on petitions filed by Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority and real estate developers and builders challenging the Allahabad High Court order which had quashed the notifications for land acquisition in Greater Noida. Without issuing notice, the apex court posted the matter for detailed hearing on July 5th.
