Kochi: The High Court on Monday passed a petition against the Central and State Governments in a petition against the Silver Line project. Such a big project cannot be called a war. The plan should not be to intimidate the people. Justice Devan Ramachandran said that even the entry of houses should not be allowed and the installation of large landmark stones should not be allowed.
The central government’s stance on the K-rail issue is not clear. The Center should state its position. Do not keep the court in the dark. According to K-Rail’s lawyer, the project has been approved in principle by the Center, but it is not clear. It is not right for a lawyer to appear for the Central Government and the Railways. Both parties have different interests in this case.
The court is not opposed to conducting a survey for the project under the Survey Act. Large concrete pillars should not be used in the name of stone laying. Only legal stones are allowed. The project can be implemented only by law. There should be no violation of law when trying to implement a project quickly. The court said there was no point in rushing. The ban on the erection of boundary stones marked K-Rail will continue. The petition was adjourned to the 21st of this month for detailed argument.
