SC Asks WB Govt Not To Return Tata Land To Singur Farmers

The Supreme Court today directed the West Bengal government not to go ahead with distribution and return of land in Singur to farmers which was acquired for Tata Motors' small car project Nano.

“As an interim order we direct state government not to hand over or return land to farmers concerned until further order passed by the Calcutta High Court,” a vacation bench comprising justices P Sathasivam an A K Patnaik said.

The bench said it was making it clear that this was an “interim arrangement” and it was not expressing any opinion on the merits of the case.
