Tata Motors’ counsel, Mr Samaraditya Pal, on Tuesday argued before the Calcutta High Court that affidavits filed by the State Government do not mention the time at which possession was taken over from the auto major by the Government.
According to Mr Pal, memos submitted by the State Government point out that possession was taken before 8.30 p.m. on June 21.
“No where is the time at which possession taken over mentioned. However, it can be assumed from the submissions that possession was taken before 8.30 p.m.,” Mr Pal argued.
He added that the State Government had acted in “haste” and its acts to dispossess the auto major accounted to “abuse of power” and “high handedness at its worst”.
