The West Bengal Government has moved the Supreme Court challenging the June 22 order of the Calcutta High Court striking down the law intended to reclaim Singur land leased out to the Tatas and to give a part of it back to farmers who were yet to receive compensation for it.
The State in its appeal said “despite possession being handed over to the Tatas and its approved vendors, the small car project could not be set up by them”. It pointed out that on October 31, 2008, the company wrote to the Government saying that it did not intend to use the land for the project.
