The Supreme Court cancelled allotment of land made to former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly by the previous Left Front government in Bengal in the year 2000 for setting up of an academy. A bench comprising Justices G S Shighvi and A K Ganguly directed the cricketer to return the land to the West Bengal government within two weeks. Justice Ganguly, also directed the state government to return the money paid by Sourav Ganguly as consideration for the land.
The apex court allowed the appeal filed by an NGO Humanity challenging the allotment of land made to the former Indian captain in violation of rules at throw-away prices. Ganguly was allotted about 63 acre of land in the posh Salt Lake City of Kolkata.
