New Delhi: A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking review of its December 8 judgement which upheld the notification for acquisition of land for the Rs 10,000-crore Chennai-Salem eight-lane green corridor project. The petition contended that the top court verdict has “Errors Apparent on the face of the Record” and would result in “gross miscarriage of justice.”
The plea filed by Salem resident Yuvaraj S stated that the review application is primarily based on the contention that the court did not have the occasion to consider that law laid down for judicial review of purported “Public Policy” when there is violation of a larger policy.
The top court, in its December 8 verdict, however, dismissed the appeal of land owners against the acquisition of their land for the project.
