The Supreme Court on 13 November 2006
dismissed a special leave petition (SLP) challenging land acquisition procedure
by the District Collector for Jamnagar-based special economic zone of Reliance
Industries Ltd.
Earlier in October 2006, the Gujarat
High Court had also dismissed special civil applications by the same group of
people against the RIL's proposed SEZ in Jamnagar and had held the land
acquisition procedure of the district collector as proper and flawless.
The Supreme Court dismissed the SLP,
however, subject to the rights of the compensation payable to the farmers under
the various provisions of the Land Acquisition Act.
