Panaji: The high court of Bombay at Goa has allowed the defence ministry two weeks to file an affidavit on a petition filed by a local seeking direction to restrain the authorities from carrying out further development on the land requisitioned by the central government for expansion and improvement of Dabolim airport.
Petitioner Andre Pereira has alleged that the central government invoked the provision of the Defence of India Act, 1962, to requisition the community land used for agricultural purpose for improvement and expansion of the existing civilian Dabolim airport.
The Central government failed to release the land as per law and now it continues to be in occupation of the government authority, Pereira said. He has filed the plea seeking direction to restrain the ministry, the flag officer commanding, INS Gomantak and Airport Authority of India from carrying out further development in the requisitioned land.
During the hearing, the division bench comprising Justice S C Gupte and Justice Prithviraj K Chavan, while viewing the delay in filing the affidavit, also directed the two respondents to pay an amount of Rs 10,000 to the petitioner towards the cost of the adjournment.
