SC will hear Centre\'s plea on Tamil Nadu expressway

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on June 3 the Centre’s plea challenging the Madras High Court order quashing the land acquisition proceedings for acquiring land for 277 km Chennai-Salem Greenfield express highway that will come up on the agricultural and reserve forests lands. The court has been moved by the project director of Chennai-Salen express highway under the National Highway Authority of India. The Madras High Court by its April 8 order had quashed the land acquisition proceedings holding that the environment clearance for the project was necessary as construction of express highway would adversely impact the environment. The petitioner — the project director, Chennai-Salen express highway project — has contended that the judgment under challenge was in direct derogation of public policy besides being in conflict with the relevant statutory rules and notifications.
