New Delhi: In a setback to former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly, the Supreme Court on Thursday Cancelled the land allotment to him by the West Bengal Government in 2000. The Supreme Court directed Sourav Ganguly to surrender the 63.04 'katha' land allotted to him by the West Bengal government within two weeks. The court passed the order on a petition filed by a West Bengal-based NGO, Humanity and others, challenging the Calcutta High Court's order which had upheld the state government's decision of allotting the land to Ganguly.
Allowing the appeal of NGO, the bench quashed the allotment and also directed the government to refund the money paid by Ganguly for the land.
The NGO had alleged that the land was illegally alloted to Ganguly as it was earmarked for a college.
The state government had accommodated Ganguly's request without amending the master plan, the NGO had alleged. The NGO had submitted that the state government violated all norms and procedures while allotting the prime land to the former Indian cricket captain.
The Calcutta High Court had in April 2010 upheld the land allotment observing in its order that there was no arbitrariness in the state government's action of allotting the land to Ganguly.
