U.P. Sahkari Avas Sangh Ltd. (UPSAS) [now The Sahkari Avas Nirman Evam Vitt Nigam Ltd.] planned a housing scheme in 2001, known as Poorvi Vihar Housing Scheme located in Lucknow. For the scheme, UPSAS prepared a land bank of 656.49 acres after acquiring the land from the farmers in 2001. When UPSAS offered the first installment of compensation to the farmers in mid-2001, they refused to accept the amount, asking for a better compensation. Farmers' land was falling on NH 58, hence market price was already high.
Not happy with the compensation, a few farmers challenged the acquisition in the High Court in the same year. The first petition was filed by Mohd. Ayub Khan and others in writ petition no.62 (L/A) of 2001 challenging the acquisition. Then 16 more petitions were filed against the land acquisition.
The villages which were affected by this acquisition were- Kanchanpur matiyari, takrohi, chinhat, kamta, hardasi khera and chandan. In a Writ petition No.29 (L/A) of 2003, Writ Petition No. 34 (L/A) of 2003, Writ Petition No.26 (L/A) of 2003 and Writ Petition No.27 (L/A) of 2003, the petitioners raised that the land was acquired invoking the emergency clause of Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Due to this, the villagers missed the opportunity of hearing and clearing their doubts which is contained in Section 5-A of the Act.
In August 2019, the affected farmers led by Mohanlalganj MP Kaushal Kishore held talks with Principal Secretary Housing Deepak Kumar. The farmers alleged that their land was acquired illegally. 80 per cent farmers were not given compensation. Durgesh Yadav of the Kisan Kalyan Samiti, who has been agitating over the land for years, says that the principal secretary has given assurances to find a suitable solution to the farmers' problem soon.
