2023 (2) TMI 1245 - SUPREME COURTClassification/discrimination made by the Greater Noida Authority (G Noida) in payment of compensation on the basis of the landholder being 'Pushtaini' and 'Gair-Pushtaini - HELD THAT:- TThe establishment of Greater Noida, was done for a noble purpose, i.e., to accommodate in the city all those who came travelling from every corner of the country in search of a better life. While doing so however, as can be seen in the present case, some residents whose land was subject to acquisition in the pursuit of the said aim, were faced with discrimination. In such circumstance, it becomes the duty of this Court to dispense justice, and rectify the harm caused to those at the receiving end of the discrimination. The impugned judgment passed by the Full Bench of the High Court is not liable to be sustained and stands set aside. As a consequence, the Writ Petition filed by the Appellants before the High Court stands allowed and the Appellants are held entitled to the reliefs claimed in the said Writ Petition. Appeal allowed.
