New Delhi:
Dismissing an appeal by a farmer body, the Supreme Court today upheld the Uttar Pradesh government's land acquisition policy for development of projects alongside the Yamuna Expressway connecting the national capital with Agra.
The court did not agree with the contention of the farmers that the land was acquired for a private purpose and not for a public purpose.
It dismissed an appeal filed by some farmers challenging the Allahabad High Court decision which had upheld the policy of the Mayawati government.
