Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple applications from lessees of manganese and iron ore mines seeking extensions for transporting minerals mined before March 15, 2018. The court reiterated its previous ruling that all mining leases had expired on November 22, 2007, rendering any mining operations conducted thereafter illegal. The applications were considered in light of the need for compliance with environmental regulations and the legality of mining activities.
