Rampur: Orders have been issued by the Rampur district administration for the acquisition of 173 acres of land belonging to the Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar Trust — run and owned by Samajwadi Party MP Mohd Azam Khan’s family.
According to the court of Additional District Magistrate (administration) JP Gupta, the trust had violated the state government norms while purchasing the land. The court on Saturday ordered the sub-divisional magistrate to acquire the varsity land.
“The Trust had violated the government order (GO) that permitted it to purchase more than 12 acres only on the condition that it will have to follow rules laid down by the GO.
“It said the Trust would not buy land belonging to people from SC/ST categories, nor acquire riverbeds or floodplains or any land belonging to Gram Samaj land or a ‘Chak’ road. But the Trust violated these terms as well as sections of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Act,” Additional district government counsel (ADGC-civil) Ajay Tiwari was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.
“The court had earlier issued notices and summons to Azam Khan, the chairman of the Trust earlier, at Sitapur jail where he is presently lodged but he had refused to receive the notices,” the ADGC further stated.
