SC Stops Mamata Over Returning Singur lands_telugutouch.com
The Supreme Court has asked the West Bengal government to refrain from returning land at Singur – originally leased to the Tatas – to farmers, for now. The Tatas appealed to the Supreme Court after a series of setbacks in the Calcutta High Court. The legal battle between the Tatas and Mamata Banerjee is rooted in a recent Act passed by her government – that act allows Ms Banerjee to reclaim 600 acres leased to the Tatas for their Nano factory. She had promised in her campaign for the Bengal elections that this land would be returned to “unwilling farmers.” These farmers say they were coerced by the Left government that was in power before Ms Banerjee into giving up their land for Tata Motors. They had refused to accept compensation. The Tatas have challenged the Singur Act in the Calcutta High Court.

Singur: Mamata wins this round against Tata
Mamata Banerjee won big on two fronts today. She won a legal battle against Ratan Tata that’s centred on the land allotted to him in Singur. She also won her assembly by-election from her constituency of Bhawanipore by nearly 50000 votes. She was earlier an MP. Her legal victory was declared first this morning. The Calcutta High Court ruled that the Singur Land Rehabilitation Act is constitutional and valid. The Act was introduced in June by Mamata Banerjee shortly after she was elected Chief Minister of West Bengal. It allowed her government to cancel a 99-year-lease signed with Mr Tata for nearly 1000 acres for his Nano factory. The deal had been signed by the Left which lost to Ms Banerjee in the state elections in May this year.
