The government’s action in giving possession has also been challenged. The counsel for the petitioner argued that the GO was in violation of the law and sought to stay the proceedings under the said GO by granting status quo on the allotted land.

Recalling the stay in GO 47 issued on June 30, 2021, in a similar case, the Bench issued interim directions and adjourned the matter to March 7.
