Tata Motors on Monday filed an amendment stating that it included “facts and developments” which could not be incorporated in the previous petition filed on June 22.
The June 22 petition filed by the auto major before the Calcutta High Court challenged the constitutional validity of the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act 2011, enacted by the Mamata Banerjee led West Bengal Government.
According to a Tata spokesperson, the June 22 petition was filed in “great hurry” because of which certain facts and development could not be incorporated in it.
“We have filed an amendment today to amend our petition, filed on June 22, which was done in great hurry as we were dispossessed on the night of June 21. The amendment places on record facts and developments which could not be incorporated in the petition that night. This had led to technical objections, which have now been taken care of,” the company said according to a release.
It may be mentioned that the State Government panel of lawyers led by the Advocate General, Mr Anindya Mitra, while arguing against the petition claimed that it was “misleading and suppressed material facts”.
The company release further added that “The amendment has been filed in time such that the state can reply to it by July 7, which is the time given to the state by the Calcutta High Court.”
The amendment petition is likely to come up for hearing by Mr Justice Soumitra Pal on Thursday (July 7).
