PANAJI: Real estate major K Raheja has challenged the Goa government���s decision to scrap the approved SEZ before the Bombay High Court. ���We have already made it clear that our SEZ was non-polluting and as such has no reason for the government to stop it. We have invested a lot of money on the project,��� said a senior company official on condition of anonymity soon after filing the petition before Goa bench on the Bombay HC. ���We need to know on what ground it was scrapped.���
The company wants the HC to declare the state government order null and void. ���The government���s action is in breach of principle of natural justice. We were not given a hearing before taking the decision,��� the company said.
Incidentally, Raheja is the second company to challenge the state���s decision.
In December last year pharma giant Cipla had filed two petitions challenging the state���s verbal order to stop construction at the SEZ site. ���Despite having all requisite permissions, the state government refused to give us any police protection when we wanted it, but instead have asked us to stop work. How can a government be like this?��� Cipla CEO Amar Lulla had asked then.
The Cipla case is still pending in court.
