Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 150 of 1997, addressed the issues surrounding land allotments by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) under the U.P. Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. The Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate irregularities in land allotments, emphasizing the enforcement of rights under Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution. The Court's holding reinforced the need for transparency and accountability in public land allotments, leading to the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry to address the allegations of corruption.
