Supreme Court notice on Reliance SEZ Land Acquistion

Earlier we had reported about Reliance SEZ being dragged to Haryana High Court. The Supreme Court of India today issued notices to the centarl government seeking an explanation as to why fertile agricultural lands were acquired on behalf of industrialists for SEZs without proper compensation to farmers.

Kuldeep Bishnoi in a public interest litigation has urged the court to quash all the acquisitions that had already taken place and direct that the land be returned to the respective farmers. Bishnoi has also sought to declare the SEZ act as unconstitutional.

SEZ Act in India is the largest land bank scam and should be scrapped with immediate effect. Every big industrial house including the house of Tatas are involved in SEZ controversy.
