A petition has been moved before the Allahabad High Court challenging a public notice issued by the NOIDA Authority on June 8 declaring that no construction is permissible in the Yamuna/Hindon flood plains area and all the constructions therein shall be liable to be demolished. Plea moved in Allahabad High Court challenging the 'illegal' public notice issued by NOIDA authority on June 8 which stares that alleged illegal farm houses built on the Yamuna Flood Banks are liable to be demolished. It is submitted that the Public Notice dated 08.06.2022 has miserably failed to address the regulation/notification/order under which construction on flood plains is prohibited, and therefore cannot be said to be an effective notice, since no basis has been provided under the notice pertaining to the alleged and purported illegality of the construction.The Public Notice is vague, generic and prima facie shows a non-application of mind as no attempt has been made to disclose who is potentially affected by the Public Notice and who in fact has violated either the provisions of the Act or the specific regulations issued thereunder or what the nature of a non compliance has been committed to warrant removal of construction that has been done."
