In a high profile judgment delivered in September, Calcutta High Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act, 2011.
The judgment validates the West Bengal government’s move to return 400 acres of land to its original owners.
This was done as the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, does not provide for return of land to its original owners. (For a detailed discussion see Land acquisition: time to return a little, on page 84 of the July/August 2011 issue of India Business Law Journal)
