The Kerala High Court has quashed key steps in the land acquisition process for the proposed Sabarimala greenfield airport. The Court held that the state did not properly assess the “absolute bare minimum” land required and ordered a fresh process.
Today (25th April): The Kerala High Court has stayed the land acquisition notification for the proposed Sabarimala airport for two months, following a plea by a charitable trust and its managing trustee. The trust alleges that the acquisition process aimed to unlawfully acquire their property. The government emphasized the airport’s benefits for pilgrims and tourism.
