Supreme Court appoints former judge to verify Noida flat allottees
The Supreme Court has appointed former Allahabad High Court Justice Sudhir Kumar Saxena to head a single-member committee to identify genuine members of the Kendriya Karamchari Sahkari Grih Nirman Samiti and finalise their entitlement to multi-storeyed flats in NOIDA. The order was passed on 24 September by a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, noting that the verification process remained deadlocked despite repeated directions.
The dispute, stemming from allotments made in the 1990s, was meant to be settled by a September 2022 Supreme Court judgment directing NOIDA to allot flats to 844 identified members and examine the claims of 133 subsequent purchasers. Implementation stalled amid disagreements over membership figures, which fluctuated to 863 original allottees and 120 subsequent purchasers recorded in March 2024. The committee has been asked to submit its report within eight weeks, and the matter will be heard again on 2 December.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same core fact: the Supreme Court has appointed former Allahabad High Court Justice Sudhir Kumar Saxena to head a single-member committee to verify genuine allottees in a Noida housing dispute that has run for over three decades. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, drawing on the court order and the bench's own observations about the three-year stalemate since the 2022 judgment. Barandbench and Hindustan Times quote the same court reasoning verbatim. The only variation is that Hindustan Times provides additional background on the 1998 cancellation and refund dispute, while Ndtv's report is briefer. The key structural point across all sources is that the committee has eight weeks to report, with the next hearing set for 2 December.
