New Okhla Industrial Development ... vs Kendriya Karamchari Sahkari Grih ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court regarding the allotment of land by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. The Court emphasized that the authority must ensure the accuracy of membership lists provided by cooperative societies before allotting land, as misrepresentation could lead to cancellation of allotments under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The ruling reinforces the principle that authorities must act on verified information to prevent fraud and protect the rights of legitimate members.
