Ahmedabad, Oct 15: A Public Interest Litigation was filed today challenging the Gujarat government's decision of giving agriculture land for Tata's dream car project Nano in Sanand taluka of the state.
The PIL filed by the Gandhinagar-based Rashtriya Kisan Dal (RKD) contended that land of the Anand Agriculture University (AAU), which was meant for agriculture purpose, was converted into an industrial land and it was wrong to give the plot for the Nano Car Project.
The PIL also said that the farmers who are original landowners of the agriculture land have not been given adequate compensation by the state government.
It also demanded that the farmers be given adequate compensation.
A division bench of Chief Justice Mr RK Radhakrishnan and Justice Mr Aquil Qureshi, asked the petitioner to come back to the court within three days after the PIL was translated from Gujarati language.
The state government has given 1,100 acres of land near Charodi village in Sanand taluka on the outskirts of the city to Tata's for the relocation of their Nano Car Project from Singur in West Bengal.
An agreement was signed between the state government and the Tata's last week for setting the small car project in Gujarat.
Farmers of Bod, Khoda and Sanand village have said that the land given to Tata's belonged to their forefathers and was acquired on 99 years lease by British Government. They have demanded adequate compensation for the land, the RKD leaders said.
As reality prices soar in Sanand, the place where Tata Motors has decided to relocate the Nano plant, the Gujarat Cabinet today decided that the Company should pay Rs 400 crore and 65 lakhs for the 1100 acres on which the plant is to be set up.
Mr Narendra Modi’s Cabinet met here this morning, and the price of the land for Nano was decided at Rs 900 per sq mts. The chief minister had earlier announced that the land will be sold at “market price” to Tata Motors.
