The Kerala High Court on Monday asked the State government whether officials were entering properties of people, without prior notice, to lay survey stones with K-Rail inscribed on them, to ‘terrorise’ or ‘startle’ them.
Justice Devan Ramachandran made the oral observations when writ petitions challenging the survey of land for the proposed SilverLine project came up for hearing.
The court also asked if the government had any intention to scare the people into accepting the project by putting up such concrete poles, instead of the survey stones, as prescribed by the Kerala Survey and Boundaries Rules.
