The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay the Madras High Court order which quashed the land acquisition process for the `10,000-crore Salem-Chennai eight-lane green corridor project.
A vacation bench comprising Justices Indu Malhotra and MR Shah however issued notices to the parties including the Tamil Nadu government
the appeal of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), an autonomous agency of the central government which has challenged the high court order.
“We are going to issue notices on the special leave petition (SLP)… We are not going to stay the high court’s order,” it said, while declining the plea of the Project Implementation Unit of NHAI that the high court’s order be stayed.
