NBA to file review petition against SC ruling: Patkar
The Narmada Bachao Andolan Sunday announced
that it would soon
file a review petition in the Supreme Court
against its October 18
judgement giving go ahead to the Sardar Sarovar
Project on the
Narmada river.
"The review petition would be filed as soon as
possible after conclusion
of on-going consultations with our lawyers,"
NBA leader Medha Patkar
told reporters soon after ending her five-day
symbolic protest against the
judgement.
Patkar dubbed the judgement as 'illegal and unconstitutional' and
hoped that while hearing the
review petition, the apex court would realise the 'mistakes' in the judgement.
She said that the NBA would now give a wider shape to it agitation
against the judgement with a
large number of oustees gathering in New Delhi on November 11 for an
indefinite period to make
their voices heard.
The NBA leader said that during their stay in New Delhi, the oustees
would also call on President
K R Narayanan and explain to him the problems that could be caused to
them by the project.
She said that the courts were normally expected to give justice but
pointed out that if they
themselves did something illegal, there was no way left but to fight
against them.
Patkar said the NBA was totally against the false concept of
development which led to
displacement of a large number of tribals from their homes and shelters.
