Mines and mineral are national wealth: SC


Jul 29,2012: Mines and minerals are part of the nation’s wealth, the Supreme Court has said, upholding the Jharkhand government’s decision to cancel its recommendation to the Centre to grant mining lease in the state to six private firms.


A bench of justices R M Lodha and H L Gokhale gave the ruling rejecting the private firms’ plea that the state’s act of withdrawing its recommendation to the Centre after making the same was illegal.
