: The Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda) on Friday said the land held by Uddar Gagan Properties in parts of Sector 26, 27 and 28 (Suncity) has been transferred to Huda as per the orders of the Supreme Court.
It said the details of the transaction made by plot holders to Uddar Gagan Properties has been uploaded on the HUDA website at www.huda.org.in and can be checked by the allottees. It further asked the allottees to approach HUDA within 10 days in case of any objection, or it will go ahead with further action as per its policy.
Recently, the BJP government in Haryana had appointed a retired judge of the Punjab and Haryana high court, justice RS Madan, to inquire the actions leading to the release of around 400-acre land in Rohtak and grant of colonisation licence on 280 acres to a private builder during the rule of previous Congress regime.
The case pertains to around 850 acres of land that was proposed to be acquired in 2002 for residential and commercial sectors in Rohtak by Huda.
However, the award was passed for around 422 acres in April 2005. Uddar Gagan Properties Limited in March 2005 entered into collaboration agreements with some farmers, whose land was under acquisition for development of a colony.
The developer had applied for a licence to develop a colony on land covering around 280 acres. The licences were granted by the town and country planning director in June 2006 and the corresponding land was released from acquisition.
The licences were addressed to the owners but remitted to the builder.
This was followed by execution of sale deeds in favour of the builder through power-of-attorney holder of the land owners.
Upholding the land acquisition process, the SC bench of Justice Anil R Dave and Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel in its May 13, 2006 judgment had ordered that land will vest in Huda free from all encumbrances.
The SC said that all land-release orders in favour of the builder in respect of land covered stand quashed.
