Land acquisition deals under Hooda govt "fraud on power": SC
The Supreme Court has annulled ex-CM Bhupinder Hooda-led Haryana government's decision to drop land acquisition proceedings for an industrial town in 2007, calling it "fraud on power". When the government announced its plan to acquire 912 acres of land across three villages, farmers sold their lands to private entities at throwaway prices. The government later dropped the acquisition proceedings.
