Panaji: The high court of Bombay at Goa on Monday held that the Goa government is competent to initiate land acquisition proceedings for the construction of the new international airport at Mopa in Pernem taluka.
A division bench comprising Justice S C Dharmadhikari and Justice U V Bakre observed, "Assuming that in the instant case the acquisition by the state government is for the purposes of setting up of an international airport and (that) such a subject is dealt with by List I (Union list) and the words 'for the purposes of the Union' have to be construed in the present case by taking into account Entry 29 of List I (Union List), even then we are of the opinion that the state government cannot be said to be incompetent to initiate the acquisition proceedings."
