Summary:
Unhappy with the verdict of the Gujarat High Court in the petitions challenging the acquisition of their land for the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project, the farmers and other similarly situated project affected persons on Thursday decided to approach the Supreme Court against the high court’s verdict. Counsel for the farmers Anand Yagnik said he is definitely going to challenge the high court’s verdict before the Supreme Court. He also pointed out that the state government has followed all the procedures under the law for carrying out land acquisition. The bullet train is supposed to have 12 stations across the 508 km stretch. Out of the 508-km stretch, 350.53 km is passing through Gujarat, 2 km stretch passes through Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and the remaining 155.64 km stretch is in Maharashtra..
