Government Of A.P. & Ors vs M/S. Obulapuram Mining Co. Pvt.Ltd&Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals filed by the State of Andhra Pradesh against the High Court's interim order allowing mining operations subject to conditions. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the boundaries set by the leases and the authority of the State to demarcate these boundaries under Section 21 of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957. The Court stayed the High Court's order, reinforcing the State's power to evict unauthorized occupants from the leased areas.
