SC tells Tata Motors to clarify rights on Singur Land
July 10, 2013 11:47
The Supreme Court asks Tata Motors to clarify its stand on its rights over the Singur land in West Bengal after the company moved out its proposed car plant from West Bengal.
The Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act 2011 had sought to empower the state government to take back 400 acres of land given to Tata Motors for its car project.
The court, on an appeal by Tata Motors Ltd, had observed that the President's assent had not been taken for the Act and as such it was void and unconstitutional. The implementation of the order was, however, stayed for two months by the division bench of the high court to allow the aggrieved party to file an appeal in the Supreme Court.
