In Brief
Rajiv Kumar and Neera Yadav, respectively Deputy CEO and Chairperson-CEO of NOIDA, were convicted of conspiracy under Section 120-B IPC and criminal misconduct under the Prevention of Corruption Act for irregularly allotting and converting land plots. The Supreme Court upheld their convictions, finding that they deliberately manipulated NOIDA records, conducted multiple illegal plot conversions in violation of rules, and obtained pecuniary advantage through abuse of official position. However, the Court reduced their imprisonment sentence from three years to two years, considering the temporal distance from the 1994 occurrence, the appellant's plot surrender, and consequent loss of service benefits.", "disposition": "partly_allowed"
