ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT DISMISSED JAUHAR DECISION'S OF CANCELLING LAND LEASE

The Allahabad High Court in the case observed and has dismissed the challenge made to the cancellation of the lease of Maulana Mohamad Ali Jauhar University's land in the state's Rampur District.

- 

In the present case, the writ petition has been moved challenging the Uttar Pradesh government's move to seize the land by voiding the lease deed associated with the University.

The State Government in the case cancelled a 3.24-acre land lease to Maulana Mohammed Ali Jauhar Trust, led by former UP minister Azam Khan, citing lease condition violations alleging that originally allocated for a research institute, a school was running on the property. As per the rules, after the cancellation of the lease, the possession of land automatically goes to the government.
