PANAJI: The high court of Bombay at Goa on Tuesday adjourned the hearings of SEZ-related petitions to July 27.
The court also allowed advocates appearing in the cases to amend the petitions in view of the state government's decision to withdraw its SEZ policy.
During the hearing, advocate Surendra Dessai, appearing for some of the SEZ developers, prayed that he may be allowed to withdraw the petitions and file fresh pleas. "This must be done to incorporate the fresh developments on the SEZ policy," he said.
At this point, advocates appearing for the remaining parties submitted that instead of filing fresh petitions, the court should allow the parties to amend their present petitions.
A bench comprising Justice B P Dharmadhikari and Justice U D Salvi was hearing petitions filed by six SEZ promoters -- Meditab Specialities Pvt Ltd, Peninsular Pharma Research Centre Pvt Ltd, Paradigm Logistic & Distribution Private Ltd, Planetview Mercantile Company Pvt Ltd, Inox Mercentile Company Pvt Ltd and Maxgrow Finlease Pvt Ltd.
The promoters had approached the court after the Goa Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) served show cause notices to them over withdrawal of land allotted to the promoters. GIDC had acquired about 3.8m sq m of land for setting up SEZs.
