Centre For Public Interest Litigation vs U.O.I.& Ors on 8 April, 2016
Apparently, the State was disturbed over delay in the matter of
settlement of rights for exploitation of minerals. It is to be remembered
that a fair, transparent and equitable dispersal of mineral rights is certain
to fetch the Government revenue, which is the most scarce resource for
the Government to carry out its multifarious activities as a welfare State.
An equitable and fair distribution of largesse is also important for the
upkeep of the rule of law and to prevent monopolization, as also
unethical, illegal and wrong practices in the garnering of rights over such
important natural resources. All these aspects have been considered by
the Constitution Bench in Natural Resources Allocation, In Re, Special
Reference No. 1 of 2012, reported in (2012) 10 SCC 1 and also in
Centre for Public Interest Litigation & others vs. Union of India &
others, reported in (2012) 3 SCC 1.
