Common Cause vs Union of India & Ors

Bench: 3 — <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

Common Cause sought condonation of delay in paying compensation required by a prior Supreme Court order relating to mining operations. The applicant had eventually paid the entire amount demanded and requested permission to resume mining. The Court held that the delay in payment of compensation with interest was condoned, the applicant could resume regular mining operations, and competent officers must verify and permit sale of undisposed stock. The applications were disposed accordingly.
