The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a review petition filed by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority challenging its earlier judgment that restored a 25-acre IT/ITES plot in Tech Zone II, Greater Noida to a private firm. The court ruled that the authority failed to demonstrate any apparent on the face of the record in the original order delivered in June 2025. The dispute concerns land originally allotted in 2007 to a consortium led by Anant Raj Industries and later transferred to Elevator Properties Pvt Ltd. GNIDA had cancelled the allotment in 2023 citing non-utilisation of the plot. The High Court had earlier set aside the cancellation, and the latest order refusing review means the earlier ruling restoring the allotment remains in force.
The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a review petition filed by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) against its earlier judgment that had set aside the cancellation of an IT/ITES plot in Greater Noida's Tech Zone II. The order was passed in the past week by Justice Prakash Padia, who held that the authority had failed to demonstrate any error apparent on the face of the record in the original ruling delivered in June 2025.

The dispute relates to a 25-acre IT/ITES land parcel that was originally allotted in October 2007 to a consortium led by Anant Raj Industries. The land was subsequently transferred through a lease deed executed in August 2010 to Elevator Properties Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of the developer.
GNIDA cancelled the allotment in June 2023 citing non-utilisation of the land and alleged violations of the allotment terms. The decision was upheld by the state government, following which Elevator Properties approached the High Court challenging the cancellation order. The company argued that the authority had failed to provide essential external infrastructure, which prevented development of the site despite payment of the full premium for the plot.
In its June 2025 judgment, the High Court quashed the cancellation order and restored the allotment to the company. The court observed that the authority had missed the statutory deadline to issue a cancellation notice under the amended provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, 2022. Because the notice was issued after the prescribed period, the authority no longer had jurisdiction to proceed with the cancellation.
Seeking to overturn that decision, GNIDA filed a review petition arguing that the court should reconsider its earlier findings. However, while dismissing the plea, the High Court observed that the authority had effectively attempted to reopen the case without identifying any legal error in the original judgment. The court noted that a review petition cannot be used to re-argue the merits of a case unless a clear mistake or omission is demonstrated.
With the review petition rejected, the earlier order restoring the allotment of the Tech Zone II plot remains in force. The ruling represents a continuation of a series of court interventions concerning land allotment disputes between developers and industrial development authorities in the Greater Noida region.
