Vedanta today hailed the admission of Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed in the Supreme Court against the Orissa High Court order cancelling land acquisition for its world class university at Puri.
In response to the development, a senior official of the company said, the Apex court’s directive to maintain status quo on the nature, character and possession of the land implied that the land will not be required to be returned till the a final decision is taken. The Orissa High Court had earlier ordered for immediate return of the acquired land to the land owners.
