Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:65062-DB Court No. - 21 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 12807 of 2025 Petitioner :- Vimla Devi And 2 Others Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Shiv Gopal Singh Counsel for Respondent :- Aditya Bhushan Singhal,C.S.C. Hon'ble Manoj Kumar Gupta,J. Hon'ble Anish Kumar Gupta,J.
1. The petitioners have called in question a notice dated 19.3.2025 issued by respondent no. 3 and for a restraint order against the said respondent so that no interference is caused in the possession of the petitioners over the land in respect of which impugned notice dated 19.3.2025 has been issued.
2. The impugned notice mentions that according to a report dated 17.3.2025, it is evident that Khasra No. 9, area 1.650 hectare, of Village Jewar Bangar, Tehsil Jewar, District Gautam Budh Nagar, was notified as 'Industrial Development Area', under the provisions of the U.P. Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. The petitioners were raising constructions and changing the prescribed usage, which is adversely affecting the planned development of the area. Accordingly, they have been called upon to stop the constructions and remove unauthorized constructions raised so far, or submit their reply by 4.4.2025, as to why the constructions should not be demolished.
3. The petitioners have challenged the notice on the ground that the land in question is bhumidhari land of the petitioners and the impugned notice is consequently illegal.
4. We find that the petitioners have already submitted their reply on 28.03.2025 to the impugned notice. In our opinion, the same deserves to be decided by the Authority before any coercive action is taken by it against the petitioners.
5. Accordingly, without interfering with the impugned notice, which is in the nature of a show cause, we direct respondent no. 3 to pass a speaking order, taking into consideration the reply submitted by the petitioners on 28.03.2025, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a true attested copy of the
instant order, along with photocopy of the objection dated
28.03.2025.
6. The petition stands disposed of, accordingly.
7. The order has been passed in the presence of Sri Shadab Husain, holding brief of Sri Aditya Bhushan Singhal, learned counsel for the respondent-Development Authority.
