The Tata Motors counsel today told Calcutta High Court that the “first attacks” on the company came in the form of public interest litigations that had questioned the process of land acquisition for the Nano factory in Singur.

“In 2007, several PILs were filed in Calcutta High Court challenging the validity of the process of land acquisition in Singur. The government and the company were made respondents (in the PILs). These were the first attacks on the company. The government had defended the company in the cases,” Tata counsel Samaraditya Pal said. He said that on January 18, 2008, a division bench of the high court had dismissed all the PILs.

Justice Saumitra Pal today started hearing the case filed by the Tatas challenging the constitutional validity of the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act, 2011, which was invoked to take back the land from the company.

The advocate said that when Tata Motors was invited to set up the Nano factory in Bengal, there was “a large-scale exodus of industries from the state”.

He said Tata Motors had been invited by the state government for the Nano project for two reasons: employment generation and socio-economic development of Singur. “We had started work on both these aspects,” Samaraditya Pal said. “We had started training programmes as well as welfare projects for the people of Singur,” he added.

In Singur, Dudhkumar Dhara, a member of the committee set up to facilitate the land-return, said: “The land survey was completed last week. We have already identified 304.34 acres of cultivable land that had been earmarked for the ancillary units. Of this, 214.92 acres are in Beraberi, 37.92 acres in Khaserbheri, 43 acres in Gopalnagar and 8.5 acres in Bajemelia. The rest of the land will be taken from the main project area.
