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

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.

The ruling marks the culmination of an 18-year legal battle that began when …
