The recent judgement of Allahabad high court would affect the housing projects in the areas between Sectors 74 and 79 and Sectors 112 and 119 in Noida.
When thousands of housing units are being developed by at least half a dozen developers in the region, the high court passed a judgment imposing stay on 802 acre of land bringing relief to farmers.
A group of villagers in Noida filed a petition at the court claiming that their lands were wrongly possessed by the administration in 1982. The court asked the district magistrate to appear before it on the next date of hearing.
It is learnt that the court restrained the administration from proceeding in the case. The next date, however, is yet to be fixed and till that time the court has put a stay on 802 acre of land in Noida.
The court also cracked down on the district administration for not complying with the earlier order of categorizing registered and unregistered land in the region.
The court also ordered the administration not to permit anyone to change the nature of the land and also directed it not to interfere in the peaceful possession of land by farmers.
Reports suggest that the case refers to a land deal in which the administration had by mistake acquired the land of farmers who had not sold it.
