LUCKNOW: The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad high court on Monday set aside the two orders passed by the principal secretary of industry in which he rejected the revision petitions filed against the YEIDA & Noida authority orders cancelling the sub-lease of petitioning builders.
The bench, comprising Justice Pankaj Bhatia, sent the matter to the state govt for taking a fresh decision on the two revision petitions within six weeks. The order came while disposing of the writ petition filed by UG Infrastructure Private Limited and Colourful Estate Private Limited.
During the hearing, the lawyers representing the petitioners pleaded that the principal secretary, Anil Kumar Sagar, holding the charge of revisional authority, passed conflicting orders on similar petitions, denying the benefit of ‘zero-period' to the petitioning builders.
Opposing the plea, additional advocate general VK Shahi and chief standing counsel Ravi Singh Sisodiya argued that the facts of the matter presented before the revisional authority were different and, therefore, the orders passed were different.
The bench, however, noted that the legal position in both matters was the same. Hence, the revisional authority had no grounds to pass conflicting orders without recording different facts and reasons.
Late on Saturday, the Uttar Pradesh government had removed Sagar as YEIDA chairman. He was also relieved from his other charges – principal secretary infrastructure and industrial development and IT and electronics and NRI Affairs departments – and put on the waiting list for new posting.
