Therefore, it has held that the acquisition of land in favour of the Foundation is not permissible except for some limited purposes enumerated under Section 40 (1) (a) of the Land Acquisition Act. In this connection, I may point out that acquisition was never made under this aforesaid provision but under Section 40 (1) (a)(a) or 40 (1(b) for a public purpose\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He had also argued that no ordinance has been promulgated for the proposed university project as mentioned in the HC order. The Vedanta University Bill has been passed in the Orissa Legislative Assembly and awaiting the governor\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>On the status of the AAF, he sated, \u201cThe Anil Agarwal Foundation had confirmed to the state government regarding the change of its status from a private to a public company with effect from November 23, 2006 by a resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting pursuant to the approval of the regional director, Department of Company Affairs. The company subsequently produced a letter dated February 21, 2007 from D K Gupta, Registrar of Companies to its address stating that the company has complied with the provisions of requirements of Section 25 of the Companies&#8217; Act and accordingly, the status of the company has been changed from a private company to a public limited company\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court judgement was in response to seven petitions and two Public Interest Litigations (PILs) which challenged the setting up of the proposed University on several grounds including that of faulty land acquisition processes which were made contrary to the provisions of Land Acquisition Act-1894, Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act-1984 and Land Acquisition (Companies) Rules-1963.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A day after Vedanta moved the Supreme Court against the Orissa High Court order quashing land acquisition for its university project in Puri, the Orissa government has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the apex court, challenging the same verdict. \u201cI wish to inform that the state government has filed a SLP in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-law-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Orissa moves apex court on proposed Vedanta university  - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A day after Vedanta moved the Supreme Court against the Orissa High Court order quashing land acquisition for its university project in Puri, the Orissa - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
