SC ends 18-year land row, saves 16 Greater Noida homes from acquisition

SC ends 18-year land row, saves 16 Greater Noida homes from acquisition

Published by Parlour News

For nearly two decades, a cluster of modest homes in Greater Noida existed in a state of uncertainty. The dispute stemmed from a 2007 acquisition of about 230 hectares, with the court allowing homeowners to seek civic amenities on payment of development charges. (HT Archive) Built on tiny plots measuring between 100 and 200 square yards, these houses belonged to families that had poured their savings into securing a roof over their heads. Since 2007, however, the homes stood in the shadow of a land acquisition drive launched by the Uttar Pradesh government for Greater Noida’s industrial expansion. By an order released on June 25, the Supreme Court finally brought that uncertainty to an end. Invoking its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to do “complete justice”, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice V Mohana exempted the houses of 16 homeowners from acquisition, even while leaving intact the acquisition of the remaining land for public purposes. The ruling marks the culmination of an 18-year legal battle that began when …

Speaking at the film’s success meet on Wednesday, Nidimoru said the film, which stars his wife, actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, had reached audiences in a way his more widely seen work had not. “Maa Inti Bangaaram earned me wider and greater appreciation than Stree and The Family Man. This movie reached every household, across every district,” the filmmaker said, referring to two of his best known projects, Stree (2018) and the Amazon Prime Video series The Family Man, both made with his longtime collaborator Krishna DK under their Raj & DK banner. He went on to describe the uncertainty that comes with every new film, regardless of past success. “For me, making every film is a risk, because we create the stories and produce the films ourselves. We were genuinely scared about things like …

5 min readJun 18, 2026 08:19 AM IST In the last few weeks, the social media world has exploded with theories about Backrooms. The followers of Kane Parsons’ series have been explaining the rules of the universe, and those who have been following the lore since it started on 4chan have been explaining what it ‘actually’ means. Kane himself, on The Town with Matthew Belloni, has said that his interpretation of the concept isn’t the only possible explanation, as many creators have interpreted it differently in the last few years. But, if you, like many others, have watched the film and have no idea about any of the backstory that comes with Backrooms, be assured that the film does not expect you to have a PhD on the subject. Even if you walk in with a blank slate, as many of us did, you will walk away with your interpretation of this universe. But, it is fully possible that the interpretation won’t really match up to the hype around the film. Backrooms: What does it …
