A division bench of the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea seeking a fast-track hearing of a public interest litigation (PIL), filed by the Association for Protection of Democratic Rights (APDR) along with 30 fruit farmers, against the installation of high-tension electricity lines by an Adani Group-owned power plant in Murshidabad district.
The court also asked APDR to serve a copy of its PIL to Adani Power Ltd.
The PIL alleged that the power transmission towers of the company in Farakka in Murshidabad district were constructed without paying due compensation for land.
