Mining law

M/S. ALANKAR GRANITES INDUSTRIES AND ORS. versus P.G.R. SCINDIA, MLA AND ORS.

The grant of 203 quarry leases for granite under Government Order dated 18.6.1991 was invalid because it was made solely under Rule 3, ignoring the prohibition in Rule 3A, and Rule 66 was neither invoked nor applied individually in any case. The prohibition in Rule 3A continued to operate as it had not been suspended or struck down; therefore, the leases were in contravention of law and rightly quashed.

  • Quarry lease grant
  • Statutory interpretation
  • Government powers
  • Rule relaxation
  • Minor minerals
  • Granite quarrying
