HC orders no Prevalence on Land Acquisition
The High Court (HC) has passed a judgment stating that there should be no prevalence of Land Acquisition. The Orissa high court on Friday declined to grant an interim stay on acquisition of forest land by state government for the Posco steel project in Jagatsinghpur district.
The Chief Justice V Gopala Gowda and Justice B N Mohapatra gave the direction in response to a PIL filed by villagers of Dhinkia gram panchayat seeking quashing of the forest clearance granted by the Union ministry to Posco for the project and halting the land acquisition process.
