Srinagar, Nov 25: Jammu and Kashmir high Court has directed government to file action taken report regarding mines which violate Mineral Conservation and Development Rules (MCDR) despite show cause notices and suspension orders by a concerned central agency.

Hearing a Public Interest Litigation, a division bench of Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Puneet Gupta directed that the report be filed within six weeks.

The direction by the court followed submissions by senior counsel M. I. Qadri that Regional Controller of Mines, Indian Bureau of Mines, has admitted the violations as per a reply filed on 14 August this year. Referring to the reply, he said, that the Regional Controller said that in the last four years 257 rules were found violated at 34 mining lease instances.

“As a result mining operations at 15 mines were suspended by the office of Regional Controller. These suspensions orders are endorsed to the State government with a request not to issue transport slip of mineral till suspension is revoked by the office”.

“Let a copy of the response filed by the (Regional Controller) be made available and served upon the Commissioner / Secretary to Government, Industries and Commerce Department, Jammu & Kashmir,” the court said as per GNS, adding, “Status / action taken reports regarding the compliances shall be placed before us within six weeks”.
