Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed allegations of manipulation and corruption in land allotments by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority under the U.P. Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. The Court converted a writ petition into a public interest litigation (PIL) and ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate the land allotments over the past decade. The Court also noted the findings of a Commission of Inquiry which indicated serious irregularities by an IAS officer, leading to further inquiries and potential disciplinary actions by the State Government.
