On 31 August 2016, a two-judge Bench of Justice V. Gopala Gowda and Justice Arun Mishra quashed the acquisition of roughly 1,000 acres at Singur in Hooghly, West Bengal, for Tata Motors' Small Car (Nano) project. The two judges wrote separately and split on 'public purpose' — Gopala Gowda J held the acquisition was really for a company and had bypassed the mandatory Part VII procedure, while Arun Mishra J held that attracting industry and employment IS a valid public purpose — but concurred that the Section 5A enquiry was not genuinely conducted, and on that shared ground the acquisition was struck down. A digest of the two opinions, the shared ratio, and the relief.
