State Of Haryana & Anr vs Aravali Khanij Udyog & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the mining lease granted to M/s Aravali Khanij Udyog had expired and the State's decision to reject the extension of the lease was valid. The Court emphasized that the respondent's failure to apply for the mining lease of ordinary sand, as required by the policy decision of 1984, justified the termination of the lease. The Court overturned the Punjab and Haryana High Court's order directing possession of the lease to be restored, thereby ruling in favor of the State of Haryana.
