A day after Mr Justice Soumitra Pal recused himself from the Tata Motors case on Singur, Mr Justice I.P. Mukherjee, to whom it has been reassigned, asked Tata Motors if the company would be willing to relinquish the Singur land after a compensation is paid.
The hearing on the petition filed by Tata Motors challenging the constitutional validity of the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act 2011 will begin afresh on Thursday. Tata Motors in its petition filed before the Calcutta High Court in June, challenged the constitutional validity of Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act 2011.
The matter was mentioned before Mr Justice Mukherjee during the day. He asked Mr Samaraditya Pal, counsel for Tata Motors, if the company was willing to relinquish their claim to the land for compensation.
Mr Pal told the court that the company had in the petition challenged the clause for compensation as the Act did not specify either the amount of compensation or provide any guidelines or framework for awarding compensation.
