A. S. OKA, J.:- These Writ Petitions can be disposed of by a common judgment. The issues involved in these Petitions relate to setting up of Special Economic Zones in the State of Goa. A decision was taken by the Government of Goa to set up the Special Economic Zones ( for short "SEZs") in the State of Goa. Allotment of lands for setting up of SEZs in the State of Goa was made by the Goa Industrial Development Corporation (for short "GIDC") established under the Goa Industrial Development Act, 1965 (for short "GIDC Act"). On the basis of the provisions of the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 (for short "SEZ Act"), the Central Government granted approvals in certain cases. In three cases, SEZs were notified. Later on, the Government of Goa cancelled the policy of setting up of SEZs in the State ofGoa. On the basis of the withdrawal of the policy, the State of Goa cancelled the recommendations made under the SEZ Act. The Government of Goa issued certain directions on the basis of the cancellation of recommendations. On the basis of the said Directions, the GIDC issued show cause notices to the
companies/developers who were allotted lands on lease for setting up of SEZs.
