On Tuesday (September 16), the administration cancelled the allotment of the Samajwadi Party office in Moradabad district. Along with this, the party’s district president has been given two weeks’ time to vacate the bungalow. Earlier, on July 30, the District Magistrate had issued a notice to District President Jaiveer Singh Yadav, giving him one month’s time. After that, on August 28, the district president presented his side, but after the hearing, the district administration ended the allotment, citing government orders.
Office allotted for 31 years instead of 15 years
According to the government order, no residential or commercial building can be allotted for more than 15 years. However, the SP office has been running in the bungalow for 31 years. Recently, the Supreme Court had also expressed displeasure with Pilibhit Municipality for allotting land for the SP office at just ₹115 per month rent. The Moradabad case is quite similar to that.
Bungalow number 4, located on Nazul land in village Chhawni, was allotted in 1994 when the government ordered its allocation to the then-SP president Mulayam Singh Yadav for a rent of only ₹250 per month. In the notice, the District Magistrate stated that after Mulayam Singh Yadav’s death, the party neither transferred the bungalow in its name nor completed any other legal procedure. Since the land falls under the Nazul category, the Moradabad Municipal Corporation manages it. The notice also warned that if the party does not vacate the bungalow within the given time frame, the administration will impose a fine of ₹1,000 per day.
DM Anuj Singh said that the administration cancelled the allotment according to the rules and set a two-week deadline to vacate. On the other hand, the SP district president claimed that he had not received any notice in this matter and asserted that he would decide the next step only after receiving it.
On August 28, the district president submitted rent receipts and related documents to Additional District Magistrate (Finance & Revenue) Mamta Malviya and argued that since the party had already paid rent up to December 2025, its possession of the bungalow remained legally valid.
