Firm allowed to mine in undisputed area
Staff Reporter
Bangalore: A Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran and Justice V.G. Sabhahit on Monday permitted a private firm at Sandur in Bellary district to resume mining in undisputed area but refused to quash an FIR registered by the State against it.
The firm, V.S. Lad, moved the court after the Government issued a notice asking it to halt mining. The Government had also seized material and equipment of the firm following a Lokayukta report.
The Lokayukta had conducted a detailed investigation into incidents of illegal mining in Bellary and he had submitted a report to the Government. Soon after receiving the report, the Government decided to suspend mining licences of some firms and also seize machinery. Advocate-General Uday Holla said all actions against the firm were taken after the Lokayukta report.
The Bench, however, ordered joint survey of the mining area leased to the firm by officials of the Survey of India, Bureau of Indian Mines and Deputy Conservator of Forests to establish if the firm had mined outside the leased area.
