West Bengal govt to decide on next course of action after receiving Singur verdict copy

KOLKATA: The state government, which received a blow with Calcutta High Court's verdict on Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act, stated that it would be taking decision on the next course of action only after it receives a copy of the verdict.

Commerce and Industry Minister Partha Chatterjee said, “We have not received the copy of the court verdict. The state government will take action only after getting it.”

The Calcutta High Court has said that the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act 2011 is unconstitutional and void.

Chatterjee has said that the state government is in favour of the people, farmers and land labourers in Singur.
