The West Bengal Chief Minister, Ms Mamata Banerjee, on Wednesday expressed confidence that the court would finally uphold the interests of the unwilling farmers.
“We welcome the Supreme Court order. It will go in favour of the farmers and the people,” she told reporters, in a brief response to the stay order, at Writers' Buildings on Wednesday.
According to her, the apex court has not stopped the State Government in carrying out land-surveys and initiating the “process of distribution” of land.
“The apex court has only said that the distribution of land will be stopped till the Calcutta High Court passes its judgment on the writ petition,” she said.
