Supreme Court has quashed the farmers plea and upheld land acquisitions in Noida Extension by the Greater Noida Authority between 2006 and 2009. The apex court has overturned Allahabad High Court order which had scrapped acquisitions.
The order came as a relief for flat owners and builders. Otherwise buildings would have been demolished. Farmers had wanted their land back, while Greater Noida authority was unwilling to give the developed land. The verdict will impact 65 villages of Noida and Greater Noida.
