In case, the present Act is struck down by the Supreme Court, says a senior Cabinet member

The Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal is considering the possibility of framing a new law to return land to unwilling farmers in Singur, if the present Act is struck down by the Supreme Court, a senior member of her Cabinet said. Addressing a gathering at Singur to mark the death of Tapasi Mallik, Labour Minister Purnendu Bose said: “If it is seen that the existing law formulated by the government to return land to the ‘unwilling’ farmers at Singur is not acceptable to the apex court… then a new law may be framed.”
