Projects of the “magnitude” like that of SilverLine “cannot be hurried” or “completed on war cries”, rather they have to be carried out in accordance with the law if they need to have any legitimacy, the Kerala High Court said to the state government on Wednesday.
The remarks by Justice Devan Ramachandran came while hearing several pleas challenging the manner in which the state and the Kerala Rail Development Corporation Ltd (K-Rail) were carrying out land surveys in connection with the LDF government’s ambitious semi high speed rail corridor project — SilverLine.
“No project of this magnitude can be completed by war cries, it has to be done as per the law. A project of this nature cannot be hurried.
