SC issues notice to Tata Motors on WB govt plea

August 24, 2012 11:43

The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to Tata motors following the West Bengal government's special leave petition, challenging the Calcutta high court's June 21 order on the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act, 2011.

The high court had declared the Act, under which the West Bengal government had vested land leased to Tata Motors, 'unconstitutional'.

A division bench comprising Justices Pinaki Chandra Ghosh and Mrinal Kanti Chaudhury had observed that presidential assent was not sought for the Act.

It set aside the order of Justice I P Mukerji who had upheld the Act, passed on September 28 last year.

Tata Motors had challenged the order of the single bench.
