In a setback to the Narendra Modi government, the Supreme Court on Thursday held its decision to sell 36 acre of land to a private refinery in Gujarat “bad in law and arbitrary”.
Setting aside the Gujarat government's decision to allow sale of land in Bhuj to Alumina Refinery, the court said the company should pay R3.15 crore to the government if it wants to proceed with the project. Anandi Ben Patel, who is the state revenue minister, had cleared the sale of this 36 acre-land.
