Ghaziabad Court Permits IME Society to Sell Village Land for Metro Expansion

• 4.9 hectares across Duhai, Pasunda, and Kadkad Model villages approved for sale

• Court mandates transparent use of funds and prior approval before sale deed execution

• Sale process must be completed within three months after public advertisement

Ghaziabad: District court has allowed the Institute of Management Education (IME) society to sell multiple land parcels in Sahibabad tehsil to generate funds for acquiring property in metropolitan cities and expanding its educational footprint.

District Judge Vinod Singh Rawat granted permission for the sale of approximately 4.9 hectares of vacant land linked to institutions that were shut down in recent years, including SDV Girls Degree College and the IME campus. The properties are located in Duhai, Pasunda, and Kadkad Model villages, along with house properties in Takiya Pasunda and other specified plots.

The court directed the society to sell the land at the highest possible market rate and clarified that no sale deed can be executed without prior court approval. It further stated that the proceeds must be used strictly for the society’s stated objectives. Any deviation from these conditions would render the order ineffective.

Importantly, the court has set a timeline of three months for completing the sale process, beginning from the date of publishing a public advertisement. The order will automatically stand cancelled if the society fails to complete the process within this period.

During the hearing, the society’s secretary, Har Prasad Gupta, informed the court that he and Chatar Singh were authorised by the executive committee through a resolution dated June 29, 2025, to represent the society in legal proceedings. The decision to sell the land was originally approved during the society’s Annual General Meeting held in June last year.

An NOC from the founding chairperson, Sheela Devi, was also submitted, confirming that the funds raised would be utilised to purchase land in metropolitan cities for setting up new educational institutions. The court noted that a public notice had been issued inviting objections, but no objections were received.

The ruling provides a structured pathway for the society to monetise unused land assets while ensuring accountability and transparency in fund utilisation.
