“This is an interesting fact subject to correction. In one case, your Collector had sought direction from the court to use 102 acres of land for a Metro car shed. Then why is the Collector passing another order when it is already before the consideration of the court,” the court asked.
It added that it would hear this case along with the Centre’s plea on the said land in February and asked the state to stop work
on the project. “You must await the decision of that application. After looking at the maps, we feel it is the same plot. Every day there is a twist and turn in the events,” CJ Datta remarked. “We cannot allow the Collector’s October 1 order to continue, the order has to go. We are admitting the Centre’s petition and granting interim relief,” the court noted.
