Allahabad HC dismisses petition challenging cancellation of land lease of Jauhar University
PTI, Mar 18, 2024, 6:07 PM IST
The Allahabad High Court on Monday dismissed a writ petition challenging the cancellation of land lease of Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar University run by a trust led by Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan in Rampur district of Uttar Pradesh. The judgment was passed by a two-judge bench comprising Justice Manoj Kumar Gupta and Justice Kshitij Shailendra.
On December 18, 2023, the court had reserved its verdict after hearing counsel for the petitioner and the advocate general (AG) of UP.
While filing the writ petition, the Executive Committee of Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust had submitted that the lease deed was cancelled without providing any opportunity of hearing. Appearing on behalf of the state, the AG defended the cancellation of the lease without show cause notice on grounds that public interest is of paramount consideration. It was argued that the land which was acquired for the purpose of higher learning (research institute) was being used to run the Rampur Public School.
