Bengal set to move SC on Singur law-Samanwaya Rautray

-The Telegraph

The Bengal government is expected to move the Supreme Court “in a day or two” against the Calcutta High Court verdict that set aside the Singur land law, a senior lawyer said today.

The state government as well as the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) are set to file the petitions in the apex court, according to the lawyer.

A Calcutta High Court division bench had on June 22 overturned a single-judge bench order upholding the Singur act and declared the law as “unconstitutional” and “void”. The state has time till August 20 to move the Supreme Court.

The Singur law seeks to return at least a part of the land to those who were unwilling to give up their plots and had not taken compensation.

“We expect the appeals (against the high court order to be listed before a Constitution bench in view of the constitutional issues involved in it,” the lawyer said. He said that a five-judge bench would have to hear the state appeals as earlier Supreme Court judgments have upheld the constitutional validity of the Central Land Acquisition Act, 1894.

Earlier in the day, the state government had sought an adjournment on past petitions that had challenged the original acquisition of land for the Tatas. The state has been seeking repeated adjournments on the ground that intervening events necessitated a common hearing in the top court.
