AHMEDABAD: A Public Interest Litigation was filed on Wednesday challenging the Gujarat government's decision of giving agriculture land for Tata's dream car project 'Nano' in Sanand taluka.
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 industrial land and given for the Nano Car Project by the government is wrong.
The PIL also said the farmers who are the original landowners of the agriculture land have not been given adequate compensation by the state government, while the land was alloted for the industrial use.
The PIL demanded that the farmers be given adequate compensation.
A division bench of Chief Justice R K Radhakrishnan and Justice Aquil Qureshi, asked the petitioner come back to the court within three days after getting the PIL translated from Gujarati language.
The state government has given 1,100 acres of land near Charodi village in Sanand taluka on the outskrits 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.
