The Calcutta High Court has refused to pass an interim order restraining the West Bengal government from returning to farmers the land acquired for Tata Motors small car project at Singur. A division Bench headed by Justice Pratap Roy asked the petitioner Tata Motors to file the law suit in writing instead of verbal appeal seeking an interim stay on the West Bengal Government’s move. Meanwhile, West Bengal government has filed a caveat in the Supreme Court so that any petition by Tata Motors on the issue is not heard ex-parte. Earlier, a Single Bench of the Calcutta High Court also refused to grant stay order sought by the Tata Motors challenging the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act 2011. The Act scrapped the lease agreement with Tata Motors for returning of 400 acres of land to the unwilling farmers in Singur.
