No exclusive right to seek licence for minerals: SC

New Delhi, 1/8: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that an applicant cannot have an exclusive right in seeking a grant of license of a mineral unless facilitated accordingly by a statute.

 

 

A bench of Justices A S Bopanna and M M Sundresh held there is no right vested over a pending application for lease of a government land, or over the minerals beneath the soil in any type of land over which the government has regulatory control.
