Court declines to interfere with policy decisions
The Kerala High Court dismissed a batch of writ petitions seeking a directive not to proceed with land acquisition for the proposed semi-high-speed rail corridor without the approval of the Central government, the Railway Board, and other statutory boards.
When the petition came up for hearing, the State government and the Railways submitted that they were in the process of constructing a new double line rail corridor as a Silverline semi-high-speed railway between Thiruvananthapuram and Kasaragod. This will be in addition to the existing two railway lines and will enable trains to travel at a maximum speed of around 200 kmph.
