Officials Suspended for Illegal Land Allotment in Noida Scheme
Imagine some people wanted to build houses in Noida, but they didn't properly get the land first.
Officials went ahead and gave out land anyway, even though they only had a small part of it legally.
Now, the court is saying this was wrong, because the people who bought the land can't actually build on it.
The government has suspended the officials in charge.
The court is asking for a plan and considering punishment for those who made this mess.
The buyers of the land are now in a legal situation because of the issues with the plot.
Three GNIDA officials were suspended for their role in a residential plot scheme.
The scheme in Patwari village allotted land that wasn't legally acquired.
Only 1,600 sqm of the planned 9,600 sqm was legally acquired from farmers.
Allotment letters were issued despite the shortfall in acquired land.
The Allahabad High Court called the process 'arbitrary and reckless'.
