The West Bengal Government has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court challenging the verdict of the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court which declared the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act, 2011, “unconstitutional”.

“We have filed an SLP in the Supreme Court challenging the verdict given by the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court. We will come to know the date of the hearing later,” said Kalyan Banerjee, a Trinamool Congress MP and one of the legal counsel for the State Government in this case, on Friday.
