New Delhi: The Rampur district administration has taken back more than 70 hectares of land from Mohammad Ali Jauhar University. The Allahabad High Court on Monday dismissed the SP MP Mohammad Azam Khan’s plea objecting to the state government move to take over all except 12.50 acres of the University land, for the violations of various conditions on which the land was allocated to the varsity. "The high court had rejected an appeal against the eviction process. Today, we have come here to take possession," Tehsildar (Sadar) Pramod Kumar told ANI. Earlier on Wednesday, the district administration said it was studying the High Court order that junked Azam Khan’s move against the state government action to acquire the Mohammad Ali Jauhar University land in Rampur.
