In Uttar Pradesh, the Allahabad High Court has dismissed a bunch of petitions challenging acquisition of land by the state government for the six-lane Yamuna Expressway. A division bench of the court comprising Justice Sunil Ambawani and Justice Virendra Singh passed the order to this effect after hearing both the parties. The court was of the view that almost all landowners have taken their compensation from the government and exempting some minor pieces of land may jeopardise the project.<br/><br/>The government has acquired thousands of acres of land for the project in several districts including Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Mathra and Agra etc well known as the Taj Expressway, connecting NOIDA with Taj city Agra.<br/><br/> <br/>
