Case History
Summary of SLP(C) No. 016527/2011 Case: Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority v. Jamaluddin & Others Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed all special leave petitions filed by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNOIDA). The Court upheld the High Court's decision quashing the acquisition of 156.903 hectares in village Shahberi, finding it was a colourable exercise of power—land was acquired ostensibly for industrial development but actually to benefit builders constructing residential complexes. Key Finding: The Court held the acquisition violated the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 because: (1) urgency provisions were invoked without justification; (2) the Authority changed land use from industrial to residential before acquisition was complete; and (3) over 90 hectares were allotted to builders at Rs. 10,000/sq.m after acquiring at Rs. 850/sq.m—evidencing malafide intent. Directions: GNOIDA must pay Rs. 10 lakhs cost to the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee within three months. Flat buyers are entitled to refunds with interest from builders.
