The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court allowing the writ petition filed by the respondent, a cooperative society, against the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA). The Court reiterated that under Section 3 of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, 1976, and the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the authority must ensure fair allotment of land to members of societies whose land has been acquired. The Court emphasized the importance of verifying membership lists to prevent misrepresentation and fraud in land allotment processes.
