WORK TO RESUME AT NOIDA EXTENSION
The uncertainty over completion of projects launched in Noida
Extension is lifting, as the Greater Noida authority is planning to re-
schedule developmental work in and around Noida Extension. A K TIWARY

    Encouraged by positive indications from the NCR Planning Board to
go ahead with the Master Plan 2021, the Greater Noida authority is
planning to re-schedule developmental work in and around Noida
Extension.
    There is also a clear indication from the Allahabad high court on
a review petition filed by the Greater Noida authority. So, you may
now breathe easy about that dream house of yours. The uncertainty over
completion of projects launched in Noida Extension appears to be
lifting.
    If the trend of these positive developments continues, developers
and builders can restart construction work this month itself. They
have been waiting for this moment since the Allahabad high court
verdict over the land row. Sources say that the Master Plan 2021 of
Greater Noida has almost been cleared and is awaiting a formal
announcement of the sub-regional cell, Uttar Pradesh.
    Anil Sharma, the vice president of Credai and the chairman and
managing director of Amrapali Group, says: "This is a relief for
builders and developers whose projects have been delayed since the
dispute erupted over land acquisitions. After the Supreme Court
verdict, which quashed the land acquisition of Shahberi, a number of
projects were in limbo."
    In a writ petition number, Ramesh Kumar Bhagchandka versus UP and
others, it has been said that the Master Plan 2021 does not have any
approval of the NCR Planning Board, which is a statutory body
constituted under the an act of 1985. According to the act, a plan
must first be prepared and if necessary land acquisition would be
done.
    In the present case of Noida Extension, the acquisition
proceedings have been undertaken and thereafter the land was sought to
be utilized by allotment to builders for raising construction that go
contrary to the plan. Under these circumstances, the petition says the
proposed acquisition is illegal be set aside. In this context, the
Allahabad high court has directed the Greater Noida authority to
obtain clearance from the NCR Planning Board for its master plan, and
then go ahead with the development process.
    Experts say there is no provision for approval of the master plan
prepared by the development authority from the NCR Planning Board. The
provision is only for sub-regional plan; the Master Plan of 2021 was
sent to the NCR Planning Board for approval in 2006 and 2009, though.
    According to the rules, the NCR Planning Board can raise
objections to the plan within 60 days from the time the plan was
submitted to them by the development authority. After the expiry of
this period, it cannot be challenged. It was thus that the Greater
Noida authority urged the Allahabad high court for review of the
decision over the master plan.
