Notice not Required for Possession of Disputed Land
Tata Motors Limited (TML) had taken on lease 600 acres of land of Singur acquired for the Nano car project, but shifted to Sanand in Gujarat in October 2008. Calcutta High Court on Thursday told that the establishment need not give notice for taking possession of the disputed land.
Counsel for the state Saktinath Mukherjee submitted that no such notice was necessary under the Civil Procedure Code. Justice I P Mukerji claimed that the state had such powers and has vested the land as per the Singur Act and that it could take possession of the land any time after the notification.
He submitted that TML had stated in their letter to the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation that it could consider moving out, provided they were compensated. He claimed that lease is a right to enjoy a property and not to just hold on to it.
