BY HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, MAY 1 –
Villagers of Loutolim, Verna, Cortalim, Sancoale and Keri have challenged the impropriety by the Goa government and the IDC in allotting land to set up SEZs in Goa by filing three separate petitions before the Bombay High Court, Panjim. The petitions prayed that an independent body such as the CBI or a Commission headed by a High Court or Supreme Court judge be constituted to conduct an inquiry into the irregularities of the entire allotment procedure, including the possibility of an irregular graft and recommend immediate action against the people responsible for the illegal allotments. The petitioners also prayed for directions to stop any construction on the land pending the final disposal of the case and prayed for issue of a writ declaring the entire proceedings of the 287th Board meeting of the GIDC null and void. A total of 57 annexure consisting of around 500 pages have been enclosed along with the petitions in support of the case. The petitioners have prayed before the High Court to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Certiorari quashing the allotments made in respect of K Raheja Corporation Ltd, Paradigm Logistics and Distribution Ltd, Inox Mercantile Company Ltd, Planet View Mercantile Company, Maxgrow Finlease Ltd in the Verna Industrial Estate (Phase IV), Peninsula Research Centre at Sancoale and Meditab Specialities Ltd in Keri. The Human Rights Law Network (HRLN), Goa unit, is supporting the legal interventions through their national networks. Senior lawyers from Delhi and Mumbai would be called to represent the case at various stages.
