At the last hearing on July 16, Leading Hotels had been asked to submit a plan of disclosing the position of the property being developed in Tiracol.
The order had also extended the interim order passed earlier effectively putting a stay on any tree cutting that may have been underway at the location.
The St Anthony’s Mundkar and Tenant Association that had filed the initial petition in 2014 against tenancy rights has asked for a stay on the entire project.
The Association has claimed that the developers changed agricultural land into non-agricultural with permission from the Town and Country Planning (TCP) department pointing in the same direction.
The entire project that measures 9.5 lakh sq mts has drawn State-wide criticism for not taking into consideration the various tenants that continue to cultivate cashew plantations.
As part of the protests, villagers from all over the State joined Tiracol locals in a musical protest calling for the project to be scrapped.
