"State government will not legalise the illegally purchased land. The industrialists or investors must take permission from the government to purchase land beyond the ceiling," Panchayat Minister Subrata Mukherjee today said after a meeting of the land committee comprising of a Group of Ministers (GoM).
It was the erstwhile Left Front government which used to ratify the illegally purchased land flouting the rules under land ceiling, the minister alleged.
"If we receive any application along with sales agreement of land and detailed project report for permission to purchase land beyond the ceiling, we will send it to the Infrastructure Committee headed by the chief minsiter for consideration", Mukherjee said.
The final decision would be taken together by the department of Land and Industry.
To a question about those already holding land beyond its ceiling, Mukherjee said that the state government would verify them, case to case.
