Kochi: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Tuesday sought to implead itself in the Merchiston estate case pending before the Kerala High Court and contended that the land purchased for setting up the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) did not fall under the ecologically fragile land (EFL) category. Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre Director B.N. Suresh, in his petition, said the 81.50 acres purchased by ISRO from Southern Field Ventures Limited, “which owned the estate,” on July 20, 2007 for setting up the IIST campus was outside the 24.40 hectares of land declared as fragile by the Custodian of Fragile Lands appointed under the Kerala Forest (Vesting and Management of Ecologically Fragile Lands) Act, 2003. The petition filed by ISRO sought to implead it as a respondent in the writ petition challenging the order de-notifying the estate as not being ecologically fragile land. ISRO said that if the order was quashed, it would adversely affect the organisation.
