The Supreme Court has appointed former Allahabad High Court Judge Justice Sudhir Kumar Saxena as a one-member high-powered independent committee to verify and finalise the list of genuine members and subsequent purchasers entitled to multi-storeyed flats in NOIDA.
In 2022, the top court had directed the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) to allot multi-storeyed flats to 844 identified members of the Society and ordered examination of the claims of 133 subsequent purchasers. Subsequent proceedings, however, saw conflicting figures being placed before the Court, with the number of original members revised to 863 and subsequent purchasers to 120.
“The one-member committee shall be at liberty to devise its own procedure, including calling for such documents and hearing the concerned members/claimants as it may consider necessary,” the top court said, directing NOIDA, the Society and all claimants to extend full cooperation.
The order came in a long-running dispute involving the Kendriya Karamchari Sehkari GN Samiti, after the Court found that the issue remained unresolved despite its earlier directions.
