The Allahabad High Court has reinstated 100 acres of land to the Royal Golf Link City project, overturning its cancellation by GNIDA. The court found GNIDA's revocation flawed, especially since the developer had paid INR 56 crore and was penalised for procedural lapses not of its own making. Crucially, GNIDA allotted land before fully acquiring it from farmers, creating legal confusion. The court ruled that allotments must follow proper acquisition, leading to the suspension of three senior GNIDA officials for negligence. The verdict is expected to influence future land-related disputes and highlights the judiciary's stance on upholding procedural integrity in public land deals.Read more

A Noida civil court has imposed a 100-meter protest-free zone around Jaypee Infratech's Sector 128 headquarters, following a plea by the company's new management, Suraksha Group. The interim order, issued ex parte, comes after homebuyers, awaiting possession since 2010-11, intensified demonstrations over stalled projects. The court limited the no-protest zone to 100 meters, rejecting Jaypee's request for a 500-meter buffer due to insufficient evidence. Homebuyers, represented by the JIL Real Estate Allottees Welfare Society (JREAWS), plan to challenge the order in the next hearing scheduled for July 15, asserting their right to peaceful protest and demanding timely project completion.Read more
