Mrs. S. Bagavathy Vs. State of Tamil Nadu, Rep. by Its Secretary, Law ...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Mar-02-2007

Reported in: 2007(2)CTC207

ORDERP.D. Dinakaran, J.I. CORNERSTONE1. The Constitution is the documentation of the founding faiths of a Nation and the fundamental directions of the fulfillment. An organic, but not pedantic approach in interpreting the constitutional validity of any enactment should be the guiding principle in the judicial process.

The Court, therefore, should be more cautious as w...

Then, what is desirable is a sustainable development, by being resilient, but not rigid; organic, but not static; liberal, but not strict; wider, but not narrow, as to both eco-friendly environment and prosperous industrial development, that are to be worked out harmoniously, to meet the challenges in global economic competition and in order to meet the ends of socio-economic justice. And the core of the dispute raised is, whether the acquisition of lands impugned in these writ petitions for Petrochemical Park, a major industrial project, satisfies t...
