HC stays allotment of plots for Delhi airport expansion plan

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has stayed a single bench order, which directed allotment of separate plots to those whose lands have been acquired by Airport Authority
of India (AAI) for expanding the Delhi international airport.
A vacation bench comprising Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice P K Bhasin passed the stay order on an appeal filed by AAI challenging the order of single bench which
had asked it to allot separate plots instead of single plot.
The single bench of Justice S Murlidhar, in its May 30 order, had said the entire programme of vacating land at Nangal Dewat village and allotment of alternative plots in
Rangpuri should commence on July 1 and end on July 31, 2007.
The court stayed the order after finding that there were two contradictory judgements by the same high court on the allotment of the plots.
Justice Anil Kumar had upheld the Nodal Officer's order of granting single plot to the head of the family whereas Justice S Muralidhar held that those who were to be displaced due to expansion plan should be given separate plots.
