Coal ministry seeks AG advice
on deallocations
New Delhi: The coal ministry has sought the advice of the government’s chief legal official on issues arising from the Supreme Court’s decision to de-allocate coal mines like forfeiture of bank guarantees and title deeds of mines purchased by the companies.
The attorney general’s opinion is being sought on issues like bank guarantees imposed on the companies, the cancellation of mining leases and the right and title of the land purchased by the companies, official sources said.
“Depending on the advice of the attorney general, the ministry will take a view on an ordinance to deal with the implications of the Supreme Court order,” the source added. The apex court last month cancelled 214 coal blocks allocated from 1993 to 2011, except four vested with the NTPC, SAIL and the Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP).
