Allahabad HC to hear Amitabh's petition on Sept 28

LUCKNOW: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court will hear on September 28 a writ petition filed by megastar Amitabh Bachchan challenging an order of the Faizabad commissioner cancelling the allotment of a farmland in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki district.

Justice A N Verma today deferred the hearing after Bachchan's counsel sought time for filing of the rejoinder affidavit.

Bachchan had filed the petition in the court challenging the commissioner's order cancelling the allotment of the farmland to him in Daulatpur during the previous Samajwadi Party regime.
