I.A.Nos.1598-1600 in Writ Petition (C) No.202 of 1995:

Ms. Rachana Srivastava, learned counsel, accepts notice on behalf

of the respondents.

Reply to the applications be filed within four weeks. Two weeks’

time thereafter is granted for filing rejoinder affidavit.


The Central Empowered Committee may examine the matter and

file its report within two weeks.

The interlocutory applications are adjourned for two weeks.

I.A. Nos.1485 and 1507 in W.P. (C) No.202 of 1995:

The Government of India and the National Mineral Development

Corporation may file their response within two weeks.

The interlocutory applications are adjourned for three weeks.

I.A. No.1574 in Writ Petition (C) No.202 of 1995:

The affidavit dated 15th June, 2006, filed by Mr. A.K. Srivastava

in compliance with the orders of

...6/-

- 6 -

this Court dated 28th April, 2006, is utterly vague and does not disclose

the relevant information as per the Report of the Central Empowered

Committee dated 27th April, 2006, which, in turn, refers to the restoration

of Gangao Dam. It was stated that first phase of the work would be

executed within a period of three months, i.e., from 1st April, 2006, to 30th

June, 2006, and the second phase would be executed during the period 1st

July, 2006 and 30th June, 2007. The affidavit does not show whether the

first phase, as proposed by the same officer, is complete or not. It does

not even show whether the work has even commenced or not.

Undisputedly, the damage came to the notice of the respondent in July,

2005. Under these circumstances, we direct the Principal Secretary,

Irrigation, to file a detailed affidavit after verification of all relevant facts

within three weeks.

I.A. Nos.827,1122,1216,1337 and 1473 in Writ Petition (C) No.202/1995:

I.A. No.827:

Report of the Central Empowered Committee dated 31st July,

2006, regarding non-recovery of the Net Present Value by the Ministry

shall be registered as a separate interlocutory application.

As prayed by Mr. A.D.N. Rao, learned counsel, Ministry of

Environment and Forests is granted four weeks’ time to file its response.

Audit Report is taken on record.

I.A. Nos.1122, 1337 and 1473:

The interlocutory applications are adjourned.

I.A. No.1216:

This application has been worked out. It is, accordingly,

disposed of.

I. A. No.1591 in Writ Petition (C) No.202 of 1995:

As requested in the letter dated 31st July, 2006, the Central

Empowered Committee is granted eight weeks’ time to file its Report.

List the interlocutory application after receipt of the Report.

I.A.No.1535 in I.A. No.548 in W.P. (C) No.202 of 1995:

The prayer in the interlocutory application is to direct the State of

Rajasthan to continue grant of grazing permits in the Kumbalgarh

Sanctuary to the right-holders and concessionists ‘Raika’. According to the

applicants, the cause for approaching this Court is the letter dated 2nd July,

2004, sent by the Central Empowered Committee to all the Chief

Secretaries, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Chief Wildlife

Wardens, which has led to the State Government stopping the issuance of

the grazing permits.

We have perused the Report of the Central Empowered

Committee dated 13th July, 2006. One of the suggestions made is that, in

terms of the provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, the concerned

Chief Wildlife Warden may be asked to assess the carrying capacity of each

of the wildlife sanctuary, i.e., the number and type of domestic animal which

can safely be allowed to graze in the sanctuary area without adversely

affecting the requirement of the herbivores in area. Further, the Chief

Wildlife Warden should also provide the details of the livestock which have

been immunized along with the mechanism put in place to ensure that over-

grazing does not take place.

Section 33 of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, vests in the

Chief Wildlife Warden the authority to control, manage and maintain all

sanctuaries and

...8/-

- 8 -

for that purpose within the limit of any sanctuary, he may regulate or

control or prohibit, in keeping with the interest of wildlife, the grazing or

movement of livestock. Immunization measures are required to be taken, as

stipulated. The Chief Wildlife Warden shall submit a report as to the

carrying capacity of the sanctuary in question, namely, Kumbalgarh

Sanctuary, in terms of the suggestion made in Paragraph (17) of the Report

of the Central Empowered Committee dated 13th July, 2006, including the

details of immunization measures and the mechanism which is in place in

the said sanctuary.

Paragraph (17) of the Report reads as under:

"It is submitted that in terms of the provisions of the Wildlife

(Protection) Act, the concerned Chief Wildlife Warden may

be asked to assess the carrying capacity of each of the wildlife

sanctuary, i.e. the number and type of domestic animal which

can safely be allowed to graze in the sanctuary area without

adversely effecting (affecting?) the requirement of the

herbivores in area. The Chief Wildlife Warden should also

provide the details of the livestock which have been

immunized alongwith the mechanism put in place to ensure

that over grazing does not take place. After receipt of the

above information, if required, appropriate directions may

be issued by this Hon’ble Court for allowing grazing in the

Sanctuary area."

The Report shall be submitted within three weeks.

List the interlocutory application after four weeks.

I.A. Nos.1413, 1414, 1454 in I.A. No.1413, 1426,1428, 1440,1439,1441,1444-

1445, 1459 and 1460 in Writ Petition (C) No.202 of 1995:

By order dated 16th September, 2005, it was, inter alia, directed

that no Temporary Working Permissions or Temporary Permit or any

other permission, by whatever name called, shall be granted

...9/-

- 9 -

for mining activities in the National Parks, Sanctuaries and Forest areas. It

was further directed that no mining activity would continue under any

Temporary Working Permit or Permission (T.W.P.), which may have been

granted. This order was later relaxed on the applications filed by some of

the applicants. Suggestions have been filed by the learned Amicus Curiae

and the Ministry of Environment and Forests, besides the Federation of

Indian Minerals Industries (FIMI) regarding the conditions, which would

govern grant of T.W.P.

On consideration thereof, the conditions precedent for the grant of

T.W.Ps. as well as the procedure for their grant shall be as provided

hereinafter. At the outset, it is clarified that T.W.Ps. shall be granted only

where the following conditions are satisfied.

PRE-CONDITIONS:

i] T.W.PS. can only be granted for renewal of mining leases, and not

where the lease is being granted for the first time to the applicant

user

agency;

ii] The mine is not located inside any National Park/Sanctuary

notified under Section 18, 26-A or 35 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972;

iii] The grant of the T.W.P. would not result in any mining activity

within the safety zone around such areas referred to in (ii) above, (as an

interim measure, one kilometer safety zone shall be maintained subject to

the orders that may be made in I.A. No.1000 regarding Jamua Ramgarh

Sanctuary);

iv] The user agency who has broken up the area of the mine (in

respect of which the T.W.P. is being sought) has or had the requisite

environmental clearances and at no time prior to the grant of the T.W.P.

was any mining being carried on by the user agency in relation to the mine

in question, in violation of the provisions of the Forest (Conversation) Act

[for short, "F.C. Act"]. In cases

...10/-

- 10 -

involving violation of the F.C. Act, a formal decision on merit should be

taken under the F.C. Act after considering the gravity of the violation.

However, the grant of a T.W.P. may be considered where past violations

have been regularized by the Ministry of Environment and Forests [for

short, "M.O.E.F."] by the grant of an approval under the F.C. Act with

shekhar

retrospective effect;

v] The conditions attached to the approval under the F.C. Act for the

grant of the mining lease (or the renewal of the mining lease), have been

fulfilled, particularly those in respect of (but not limited to) compensatory

afforestation, reclamation plan and over burden dumping on the specified

site;

vi] The user agency has, within the stipulated time, already filed a

proposal in conformity with the Forest (Conversation) Rules, 1980, for

seeking an approval under the F.C. Act along with the complete details as

are required to be furnished. An application for the grant of the T.W.P. in

favour of the user agencies, who have either not filed a proper proposal

and/or have not provided complete information, particularly in respect of

(but not limited to) compensatory afforestation, phased reclamation plan,

felling of trees, details of minerals extracted in the past, etc., should not be

entertained;

vii] A T.W.P. shall be granted only limited to working in the area

broken up legally and during the validity of the lease. No T.W.P. can be

AND


JUDGEMENT

A. K. PATNAIK, J.

1. This batch of Writ Petitions and Transferred Cases relate to

mining in the State of Goa and as issues raised are common to the

Writ Petitions and the Transferred Cases, the cases have been

analogously heard and are being disposed of by this common

judgment.

Facts relating to mining in Goa:

2. Prior to 19.12.1961 when Goa was a Portuguese territory, its

Portuguese Government had granted mining concessions in

perpetuity to concessionaires. On 19.12.1961, Goa was liberated 3

and became part of the Indian Union and on 01.10.1963, the

Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Act, 1957 (for

short ‘the MMDR Act’) was made applicable to the State of Goa.

On 10.03.1975, the Controller of Mining Leases issued a

notification calling upon every lessee and sub-lessee to file returns

under Rule 5 of the Mining Leases (Modification of Terms) Rules,

1956 and sent copies of the notification to the concessionaires in

Goa. Aggrieved, the concessionaires moved the Bombay High

Court, Goa Bench, and by judgment dated 29.09.1983, in

Vassudeva Madeva Salgaocar vs. Union of India [1985(1) Bom.

CR 36], the Bombay High Court restrained the Union of India from

treating the concessions as mining leases and from enforcing the

notification against the concessionaires.

3. Parliament thereafter passed the Goa, Daman and Diu

Mining Concessions (Abolition and Declaration as Mining Leases)

Act, 1987 (for short ‘the Abolition Act’) which received the assent

of the President on 23.05.1987. Section 4 of the Abolition Act

abolished the mining concessions and declared that with effect

from the 20th day of December, 1961, every mining concession will

be deemed to be a mining lease granted under the MMDR Act and

that the provisions of the MMDR Act will apply to such mining

lease. Section 5 of the Abolition Act further provided that the 4

concession holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of

the mining lease under the MMDR Act in relation to the mines in

which the concession relates and the period of such lease was to

extend upto six months from the date when the Abolition Act

received President’s assent, i.e. upto 22.11.1987. On 14.10.1987,

sub-rules (8) and (9) were inserted in Rule 24A of the Mineral

Concession Rules, 1960 (for short ‘the MC Rules’) which deal with

renewal of mining leases in Goa, Daman and Diu. The Abolition

Act was challenged by the lessees before the Bombay High Court

in a writ petition. The High Court passed an interim order

permitting the lessees to carry on mining operations and the

mining business in the concessions for which renewal applications

had been filed under Rule 24A of the MC Rules. Subsequently,

the High Court held in its judgment dated 20.06.1997 that the

Abolition Act was valid but Section 22(i)(a) of the Abolition Act

would operate prospectively and not retrospectively. The

concessionaires filed special leave petition against the judgment

dated 20.06.1997 before this Court. On 02.03.1998, this Court

passed an interim order permitting the concessionaires to carry on

mining operations and mining business in the mining areas for

which renewal applications have been made on the condition that

the lessee pays to the Government dead rent from the date of 5

commencement of the Abolition Act. Subsequently, this Court

granted leave in the special leave petition and continued the

aforesaid interim order.

The Justice Shah Commission and its report:

4. As reports were received from various State Governments of

widespread mining of iron ore and manganese ore in contravention

of the provisions of the MMDR Act, the Forests (Conservation) Act

1980, the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and other rules and

guidelines issued thereunder, the Central Government appointed

the Justice Shah Commission under Section 3 of the Commissions

of Inquiry Act, 1952 by notification dated 22.11.2010. Paras 2 and

3 of the notification, which are relevant, are extracted hereinbelow:

"2. The terms of reference of the Commission shall be-

(i) to inquire into and determine the nature and extent of mining and trade and transportation, done illegally or without lawful authority, of iron ore and manganese ore, and the losses therefrom; and to identify, as far as possible, the persons, firms, companies and others that are engaged in such mining, trade and transportation of iron ore and manganese ore, done illegally or without lawful authority;

(ii) to inquire into and determine the extent to which the management, regulatory and monitoring systems have failed to deter, prevent, detect and punish offences relating to mining, storage, transportation, trade and export of such ore, done illegally or without lawful authority, and the persons responsible for the same; 6

(iii) to inquire into the tampering of official records, including records relating to land and boundaries, to facilitate illegal mining and identify, as far as possible, the persons responsible for such tampering; and

(iv) to inquire into the overall impact of such mining, trade transportation and export done illegally or without lawful authority, in terms of destruction of forest wealth, damage to the environment, prejudice to the livelihood and other rights of tribal people, forest dwellers and other persons in the mined areas, and the financial losses caused to the Central and State Governments.

3. The Commission shall also recommend remedial measures to prevent such mining, trade, transportation and export done illegally or without lawful authority."

The Justice Shah Commission visited Goa and issued notices

under Section 4 of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952 calling for

information from concerned authorities and the lessees and

submitted its interim report on 15.3.2012 to the Ministry of Mines,

Union of India. On 7.9.2012, the Justice Shah Commission Report

on Goa was tabled in Parliament along with an Action Taken

Report of the Ministry of Mines and on 10.9.2012 the State

Government of Goa passed an order suspending all mining

operations in the State of Goa with effect from 11.9.2012.

5. Pursuant to this order of the State Government, on

11.09.2012 and 12.09.2012 the District Magistrates of the State of

Goa banned transportation of iron ore in their respective districts 7

and the Director of Mines and Geology ordered for verification of

mineral ore which was already extracted. On 13.9.2012, the

Director of Mines and Geology, Government of Goa issued Show

Cause Notices to 40 mining leases. On 14.9.2012, the Ministry of

Environment and Forests of the Union of India also directed that all

Environmental Clearances granted to mines in the State of Goa be

kept in abeyance.

6. On the basis of findings in the report of the Justice Shah

Commission on illegal mining in the State of Goa, the Goa

Foundation has filed Writ Petition (C) 435 of 2012 as Public

Interest Litigation praying for directions to the Union of India and

the State of Goa to take steps for termination of the mining leases

of lessees involved in mining in violation of the Forest

(Conservation) Act, 1980, the Mines and Minerals (Regulation

and Development) Act, 1957, the Mineral Concessions Rules,

1960, the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Water

(Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the

Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 as well as the

Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. The Goa Foundation has prayed

that a direction be issued to the respondents to prosecute all

those who have committed offences under the different laws and

are involved in the pilferage of State revenue through illegal 8

mining activities in the State of Goa including the public servants

who have aided and abetted the offences. The Goa Foundation

has also sought for appointment of an independent authority with

full powers to take control, supervise and regulate mining

operations in the State of Goa and to ensure the implementation

of the laws. Besides, the aforesaid main reliefs, the Goa

Foundation has also prayed for some incidental and

consequential reliefs. On 5.10.2012, this Court issued notice in

Writ Petition (Civil) No. 435 of 2012 to the respondents and

directed the Central Empowered Committee (for short "CEC") to

submit its report on the writ petition and also directed that till

further orders, all mining operations in the leases identified in the

report of the Justice Shah Commission and transportation of iron

ore and manganese ore from those leases, whether lying at the

mine-head or stockyards, shall remain suspended, as

recommended in the report of the Justice Shah Commission.

7. Different mining lessees of the State of Goa and the Goa

Mining Association also filed Writ Petitions in the Bombay High

Court, Goa Bench for a declaration that the report of the Shah

Commission is illegal and for quashing the findings in the report of

the Justice Shah Commission and also for quashing the order

dated 10.9.2012 of the Government of Goa suspending mining 9

operations in the State of Goa and the order dated 14.9.2012 of

the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India,

directing that the Environmental Clearances granted to the mines

in the State of Goa be kept in abeyance. These Writ Petitions

have been transferred to this Court for hearing along with the

hearing of Writ Petition (Civil) No. 435 of 2012 filed by the Goa

Foundation.

8. The Writ Petitions and the Transferred Cases were heard

during September, October and November, 2013. On 11th

November, 2013, an order was passed by this Court

directing that the inventory of the excavated mineral ores

lying in different mines/stockyards/jetties/ports in the State of

Goa made by the Department of Mines and Geology of the

Government of Goa be verified and thereafter the whole of

the inventorised mineral ores be sold by e-auction and the

sale proceeds (less taxes and royalty) be retained in

separate fixed deposits (lease-wise) by the State of Goa till

the Court delivers the judgment in these matters on the

legality of the leases from which the mineral ores were

extracted. The Court has also directed that this entire

process of verification of the inventory, e-auction and deposit

of sale proceeds be monitored by a Monitoring Committee 10

appointed by the Court. By the said order dated 11.11.2013,

this Court also constituted an Expert Committee to conduct a

macro EIA Study on what should be the ceiling of annual

excavation of iron ore from the State of Goa considering its

iron ore resources and its carrying capacity, keeping in mind

the principles of sustainable development and inter-

generational equity and all other relevant factors. On

11.11.2013 the case was also reserved for judgment.

Challenge to the Report of the Justice Shah Commission:

9. As we have already noticed, in the cases transferred from

the Bombay High Court to this Court, the mining lessees have

prayed for quashing the report of the Justice Shah Commission.

Mr. K.K. Vengupal, learned senior counsel appearing for the

mining lessees, submitted that the Justice Shah Commission did

not issue any notice under Section 8B of the Commissions of

Inquiry Act, 1952 to the mining lessees giving a reasonable

opportunity of being heard in the inquiry and to produce evidence

in their defence. He further submitted that the Justice Shah

Commission also did not permit the mining lessees to cross

examine the witnesses, to address the Commission and to be

represented by legal practitioners before the Commission contrary

to the provisions of Section 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 11

1952. He submitted that even otherwise there is gross breach of

the principles of natural justice and fair play by the Justice Shah

Commission and, therefore, the report of the Commission was

violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. He submitted that the

report of the Justice Shah Commission should, therefore, be

quashed. In support of this submission, he relied on the decisions

of this Court in Kiran Bedi v. Committee of Inquiry and another

[(1989) 1 SCC 494], State of Bihar v. L.K. Advani [(2003) 8 SCC

361] and Union of India v. Tulsiram Patel [1985(3) SCC 398].

10. Mr. Mohan Prasaran, learned Solicitor General for the Union

of India, on the other hand, submitted that as the notification dated

22.11.2010 of the Central Government appointing the Justice Shah

Commission under Section 3 of the Commissions of Inquiry Act,

1952 would show, reports were received from various State

Governments of widespread mining of iron ore and manganese

ore in contravention of the MMDR Act, the Forest (Conservation)

Act, 1980 and the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 or other

Rules and Licenses issued thereunder and for this reason, the

Central Government appointed the Justice Shah Commission for

the purpose of making inquiry into these matters of public

importance. He submitted that after the Justice Shah Commission

submitted the report pointing out various illegalities, the Union 12

Government has kept the environment clearances in abeyance

and it will take legal action on the basis of its own assessment of

the facts and not on the basis of the facts as found in the Justice

Shah Commission’s report. Similarly, Mr. Atmaram N.S. Nadkarni,

the Advocate General appearing for the State of Goa, submitted

that after going through the report of the Justice Shah

Commission, the State Government has suspended all mining and

transportation of ores and no legal action will be taken against the

mining lessees on the basis of the findings in the Justice Shah

Commission’s report unless due opportunity is given to the mining

lessees to place their defence against the findings of the Justice

Shah Commission.

11. We find that Section 8B of the Commissions of Inquiry Act,

1952 provides that if a person is likely to be prejudicially affected

by the inquiry, the Commission shall give to that person a

reasonable opportunity of being heard and to produce evidence in

his defence and Section 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act,

1952 provides that every such person will have a right to cross-

examine and the right to be represented by a legal practitioner

before the Commission. As the State Government of Goa has

taken a stand before us that no action will be taken against the

mining lessees only on the basis of the findings in the report of the 13

Justice Shah Commission without making its own assessment of

facts and without first giving the mining lessees the opportunity of

hearing and the opportunity to produce evidence in their defence,

we are not inclined to quash the report of the Justice Shah

Commission on the ground that the provisions of Sections 8B and

8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952 and the principles of

natural justice have not been complied with. At the same time, we

cannot also direct prosecution of the mining lessees on the basis

of the findings in the report of the Justice Shah Commission, if they

have not been given the opportunity of being heard and to produce

evidence in their defence and not allowed the right to cross-

examine and the right to be represented by a legal practitioner

before the Commission as provided in Sections 8B and 8C

respectively of the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952. We will,

however, examine the legal and environmental issues raised in the

report of the Justice Shah Commission and on the basis of our

findings on these issues consider granting the reliefs prayed for in

the writ petition filed by Goa Foundation and the reliefs prayed for

in the writ petitions filed by the mining lessees, which have been

transferred to this Court.

Whether the leases held by the mining lessees have expired: 14

12. According to the Justice Shah Commission report, prior to

7th January, 1993, sub-rule (4) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules

provided that the renewal application of the lessee is required to

be disposed of within six months from the date of its receipt and

sub rule (5) of Rule 24A provided that if the application is not

disposed of within stipulated time, the same shall be deemed to

have been refused. The Justice Shah Commission has found that

the applications of several mining leases for renewal were not

disposed of within the stipulated time and there was no provision in

the MC Rules to condone the delay and, therefore, these leases

are in contravention of the MC Rules and are void and have no

effect as provided in Section 19 of the MMDR Act.

13. The CEC in its report has stated that under Section 4 of the

Abolition Act, the concessions were abolished from 23rd May, 1987

and treated as deemed leases under the MMDR Act and the

period of deemed leases under Section 5 of the Abolition Act was

extended upto six months with effect from the date of assent to the

Abolition Act (23rd May, 1987) i.e. upto 22nd November, 1987. The

CEC has further stated that by notifications dated 20th November,

1987 and 20th May, 1988, however, the Government of Goa

allowed extension of six months each (totaling one year) for

making applications for the first renewal of deemed mining leases 15

and this one year period expired on 22nd November, 1988. The

CEC has further stated that as per the information provided to the

CEC, out of 595 mining concessions abolished and converted into

deemed mining leases under Section 4 of the Abolition Act, as

many as 379 deemed mining lease holders have filed applications

for the first renewal of the mining leases before 22nd November,

1988 and 59 such leases have filed applications for the first

renewal of the deemed mining leases after 22nd November, 1988,

i.e., beyond the time limit permitted under Rule, 24A(8) of the MC

Rules.

14. In reply, learned counsel for the lessees and Mr. Arvind

Datar, learned senior counsel appearing for the State of Goa,

submitted that sub-rules (4) and (5) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules

did not apply to the State of Goa. They submitted that sub-rules

(8) and (9) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules apply specifically to the

State of Goa and sub-rule (8) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules

provides that an application for the first renewal of the deemed

mining lease referred to in Section 4 of the Abolition Act shall be

made to the State Government in Form ‘J’ before the period of six

months of the mining lease as provided in Section 5(1) of the

Abolition Act. They submitted that the proviso to sub-rule (8) of

Rule 24A of the MC Rules conferred power on the State 16

Government to extend time for making such application upto a

total period not extending one year. They submitted that, by two

notifications, the State Government extended time for a period of

one year upto 22.11.1988 and within this period most of the

lessees have applied for the first renewal of the deemed mining

lease. Learned counsel for the lessees and learned counsel for

the State of Goa submitted that sub-rule (9) of Rule 24A of the MC

Rules makes it clear that if an application for first renewal is made

within the time referred to in sub-rule (8) of Rule 24A of the MC

Rules or within the time allowed by the State Government under

the proviso to sub-rule (8) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules, the period

of that lease shall be deemed to have been extended by a further

period till the State Government passes orders thereon.

15. For easy reference, Chapter II containing Sections 4 and 5 of

the Abolition Act is extracted hereinbelow:

"CHAPTER II

(3) If, after the date of assent, the CentralGovernment is satisfied,. whether from anyinformation received by it or otherwise, thatthere has been any error, omission ormisdescription in relation to the particulars ofany mining concession or the name andresidence of any concession holder specified inthe First or the Second Schedule, it may, bynotification, correct such error, omission ormisdescription, and on the issue of suchnotification, the First or the Second Schedule,as the case may be, shall be deemed to havebeen amended accordingly.

5. (1) Where a mining concession has beendeemed to be a mining lease under section 4,the concession holder shall, on and from theday mentioned in that section, be deemed tohave become the holder of such mining leaseunder the Mines and Minerals Act in relation tothe mine to which the mining concession 18

relates, subject to the condition that the period of such lease shall, notwithstanding anything contained in that Act, extend up to a period of six months from the date of assent.

(2) On the expiry of the period of any mining lease under sub-section (1), it may, if so desired by the holder of such lease and on an application being made by him in accordance with the provisions of the Mines and Minerals Act and the rules made thereunder, be renewed on such terms and conditions, and up to the maximum period for which, such lease can be renewed under the provisions of that Act and the rules made thereunder."

16. For easy reference, Rule 24A of the MC Rules is also

extracted hereinbelow:

"24A. Renewal of mining lease. - (1) An application for the renewal of a mining lease shall be made to the State Government in Form J, at least twelve months before the date on which the lease is due to expire, through such officer or authority as the State Government may specify in this behalf.

(2) The renewal or renewals of a mining lease granted in respect of a mineral specified in Part ‘A’ and Part ‘B’ of the First Schedule to the Act may be granted by the State Government with the previous approval of the Central Government.;

(3) The renewal or renewals of a mining lease granted in respect of a mineral not specified in Part ‘A’ and Part ‘B’ of the First Schedule to the Act may

be granted by the State Government.;

Provided that before granting approval for second or subsequent renewal of a mining lease, the State Government shall seek a report from the Controller General, Indian Bureau of Mines, as to whether it 19

would be in the interest of mineral development togrant the renewal of the mining lease.

Provided further that in case a report is not receivedfrom Controller General, Indian Bureau of Mines ina period of three months of receipt of thecommunication from the State Government, it wouldbe deemed that the Indian Bureau of Mines has noadverse comments to offer regarding the grant ofthe renewal of mining lease.

(4) An application for the renewal of a mining leaseshall be disposed of within a period of six monthsfrom the date of its receipt. (Omitted)

(5) If an application is not disposed of within theperiod specified in sub-rule (4) it shall be deemed tohave been refused. (Omitted)

(6) If an application for the renewal of a mininglease made within the time referred to in sub-rule(1) is not disposed of by the State Governmentbefore the date of expiry of the lease, the period ofthe lease shall be deemed to have been extendedby a further period till the State Government passesorder thereon.

(7) Omitted.

(8) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule(1) and sub-rule (6), an application for the firstrenewal of a mining lease, so declared under theprovisions of section 4 of the Goa, Daman and DiuMining Concession (Abolition and Declaration asMining Lease ) Act,1987, shall be made to the StateGovernment in Form J before the expiry of theperiod of mining lease in terms of sub-section (1) ofsection 5 of the said Act, through such office orauthority as the State Government may specify inthis behalf:

Provided that the State Government may, forreasons to be recorded in writing and subject tosuch conditions as it may think fit, allow extension of 20

time for making of such application up to a total period not exceeding one year.

(9) If an application for first renewal made within the time referred to in sub-rule (8) or within the time allowed by the State Government under the proviso to sub-rule (8), the period of that lease shall be deemed to have been extended by a further period till the State Government passes orders thereon.

(10) The State Government may condone delay in an application for renewal of mining lease made after the time limit prescribed in sub-rule (1)

provided the application has been made before the expiry of the lease."

17. Sub-rule (8) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules has been inserted

by G.S.R. 855(E), dated 14th October, 1987 and this sub-rule (8) of

Rule 24A of the MC Rules provides that notwithstanding anything

contained in sub-rule (1) and sub-rule (6), an application for the

first renewal of a deemed mining lease, referred to in Section 4 of

the Abolition Act, shall be made to the State Government in Form J

before the expiry of the six months period of deemed mining lease

as provided in Section 5 (1) of the Abolition Act. The proviso to

sub-rule (8) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules, however, empowers the

State Government to extend the time for making such application

upto a total period not extending one year. In exercise of these

powers in the proviso to sub-rule (8) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules,

the State Government of Goa has, in fact, extended time for

making applications for first renewal upto 22.11.1988, by two 21

notifications dated 20.11.1987 and 20.05.1988. Sub-rule (9) of

Rule 24A of the MC Rules, which was also inserted by G.S.R.

855(E), dated 14th October, 1987, reads as follows:

"In an application for first renewal made within the time referred to in sub-rule (8) or within the time allowed by the State Government under the proviso to sub-rule (8), the period of that lease shall be deemed to have been extended by a period of one year from the date of expiry of lease or date of receipt of application, whichever is later, provided that the period of deemed extension of lease shall end with the date of receipt of the orders of the State Government thereon, if such orders are made earlier."

Sub-rule (9) was substituted by G.S.R. 724(E) dated 27th

September, 1994 by the existing sub-rule (9) (extracted above) to

provide that if an application for first renewal is made within the

time referred to in sub-rule (8) or within the time allowed by the

State Government under the proviso to sub-rule (8), the period of

that lease shall be deemed to have been extended by a further

period till the State Government passes orders thereon. In our

considered opinion, the intention of rule-making authorities is very

clear from sub-rule (9) as was originally inserted by G.S.R. 855(E),

dated 14th October, 1987 and sub-rule (9) as was substituted by

G.S.R. 724(E), dated 27th September, 1994, that until orders were

passed by the State Government on an application for first renewal

of a lease filed by a lessee within the time allowed, the lease was 22

deemed to have been extended.

18. The lessees have contended that they had filed their

applications by 22.11.1988, i.e. the date up to which the State

Government had allowed time under the proviso to sub-rule (8) of

Rule 24A of the MC Rules. The State Government has also taken

the stand that most of the applications for first renewal were filed

within the time allowed by the State Government and this stand is

also supported by the facts found by the CEC. The result is that

most of the mining leases in which the State Government has not

passed orders are deemed to have been extended under sub-rule

(9) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules. Hence, the finding in the Justice

Shah Commission report that the applications for renewal were not

disposed of within the stipulated time and the leases are in

contravention of the MC Rules is, thus, not correct. This opinion of

the Justice Shah Commission, as we have noticed, was based on

sub-rules (4) and (5) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules, which were

applicable generally to an application for renewal of mining leases,

stood excluded to the extent specific provisions have been

subsequently made by the rule-making authorities in sub-rules (8)

and (9) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules in respect of the deemed

leases in Goa.

19. Mr. Prashant Bhushan, learned counsel for the Goa 23

Foundation, however, submitted that sub-section (2) of Section 8

of the MMDR Act prior to its amendment provided that a mining

lease may be renewed for only ten years and, therefore, if the

deemed mining leases of the lessees expired on 22.11.1987, even

if the lease was renewed on the application of first renewal made

by the lessees in Goa, the period of lease under the first renewal

would expire on 21.11.1997 and after 21.11.1997, there can be no

deemed extension. Alternatively, he submitted that sub-section (2)

of Section 8 of the MMDR Act as amended by Act 25 of 1994

provided that the mining lease may be renewed for a maximum

period not exceeding twenty years. He submitted that as the

deemed mining leases expired on 22.11.1987, the lessees would

be entitled to a renewal for a maximum period of twenty years upto

21.11.2007 and after 21.11.2007, the lessees would not be entitled

to any renewal and hence the lessees were not entitled to operate

the lease beyond 21.11.2007.

20. Learned counsel for the lessees, on the other hand,

submitted that sub-section (3) of Section 8 of the MMDR Act

makes it clear that notwithstanding anything contained in sub-

section (2) of Section 8 of the MMDR Act, the State Government

can authorise renewal of a mining lease in respect of minerals not

specified in Part A and Part B of the First Schedule for a further 24

period or periods not exceeding twenty years in each case. They

submitted that iron ore is specified in Part C in the First Schedule

and hence the State Government can authorise renewal of the

mining lease in respect of iron ore for a period or periods not

exceeding twenty years in each case. They also referred to sub-

rule (3) of Rule 24A which provided that renewal or renewals of a

mining lease granted in respect of a mineral not specified in Part A

and Part B of the First Schedule to the MMDR Act may be granted

by the State Government provided that before granting approval

for second or subsequent renewal of a mining lease, the State

Government shall seek a report from the Controller General, Indian

Bureau of Mines, as to whether it would be in the interest of

mineral development to grant the renewal of the mining lease.

Learned counsel for the lessees submitted that as the application

of the lessees for renewal of mining leases have not been

disposed of by the State Government before the date of expiry of

lease, the period of lease shall be deemed to have been extended

by a further period till the State Government passes orders thereon

as provided in sub-rule (6) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules. They

submitted that it will be clear from sub-rule (6) of Rule 24A of the

MC Rules that the intention of rule-making authorities is that there

may not be any hiatus in mining, and mineral development in the 25

country may continue without break, without any loss to the

economy and loss of revenue to the Government. They cited the

judgment of this Court in State of U.P. & Ors. v. Lalji Tandon

(dead) through LRs. [(2004) 1 SCC 1], in which this Court has held

that there is a difference between an extension of lease and

renewal of lease and whereas in the case of extension of lease it is

not necessary to have a fresh deed of lease executed, in case of

renewal of lease, a fresh deed of lease shall have to be executed

between the parties. They also cited Tata Iron and Steel

Company Ltd. v. Union of India & Anr. [(1996) 9 SCC 709] in

support of their argument that under sub-section (3) of Section 8 of

the MMDR Act, the Government can renew the mining lease for a

further period if it was in the interest of mineral development.

21. Mr. Nadkarni, learned Advocate General for the State of

Goa, submitted that the then State Government of Goa allowed the

working of the mines from 2007 till 2012 based on deemed

extension status but it has been decided by the State Government

now in the Goa Mining Policy of 2013 that no mine can be allowed

on deemed extension basis. The clear stand of the State

Government of Goa in the resume of arguments filed by the

learned Advocate General Mr. Nadkarni is that the deemed

extension status would not mean that a mine can be allowed to run 26

indefinitely without a decision on the renewal application.

22. Section 8 of the MMDR Act is extracted hereinbelow:

"8. Periods for which mining leases may be

granted or renewed

(1) The maximum period for which a mining lease may be granted shall not exceed thirty years:

Provided that the minimum period for which any such mining lease may be granted shall not be less than twenty years;

(2) A mining lease may be renewed for a period not exceeding twenty years]:

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub- section (2), if the State Government is of opinion that in the interests of mineral development it is necessary so to do, it may, for reasons to be recorded, authorise the renewal of a mining lease in respect of minerals not specified in Part A and Part B of the First Schedule for a further period or periods not exceeding twenty years in each case.

(4) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub- section(2) and sub-section (3), no mining lease granted in respect of mineral specified in Part A or Part B of the First Schedule shall be renewed except with the previous approval of the Central Government."

23. Sub-section (1) of Section 8 of the MMDR Act, which

provides the maximum and minimum periods for which a

mining lease may be granted will not apply to deemed

mining leases in Goa because sub-section (1) of Section 5 27

of the Abolition Act provides that the period of such deemed

mining leases will extend upto six months from the date of

assent notwithstanding anything contained in the MMDR

Act. In other words, notwithstanding anything contained in

sub-section (1) of Section 8 of the MMDR Act, the period of

a deemed mining lease in Goa was to expire on 22.11.1987

(six months from the date of assent). Under sub-section (2)

of Section 8 of the MMDR Act, a mining lease may be

renewed for a period not exceeding twenty years. Sub-

section (3) of Section 8, however, provides that

notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2), if the

State Government is of the opinion that in the interest of

mineral development, it is necessary so to do, it may for

reasons to be recorded, authorise the renewal of a mining

lease in respect of minerals not specified in Part A and

Part B of the First Schedule for a further period or periods

not exceeding twenty years in each case. Thus, renewal

beyond the first renewal for a period of twenty years is

conditional upon the State Government forming an opinion

that in the interest of mineral development, it is necessary to

do so and also conditional upon the State Government

recording reasons for such renewal of a mining lease in 28

respect of iron ore which is not specified in Part A and Part

B of the First Schedule. In Tata Iron and Steel Company

Ltd. v. Union of India & Anr. (supra), this Court has held that

the language of sub-section (3) of Section 8 is quite clear

that ordinarily a lease is not to be granted beyond the time

specified in sub-section (2) and only if the Government is of

the view that it would be in the interest of mineral

development, it is empowered to renew lease of a lessee for

a further period after recording sound reasons for doing so.

This Court has further held in the aforesaid case that this

measure has been incorporated in the legislative scheme as

a safeguard against arbitrariness and the letter and spirit of

the law must be adhered to in a strict manner.

24. The MC Rules have been made under Section 13 of the

MMDR Act by the Central Government and obviously could

not have been made in a manner inconsistent with the

provisions of the Act. Sub-rule (6) of Rule 24A of the MC

Rules provides that if an application for the renewal of a

mining lease made within the time referred to in sub-rule (1)

is not disposed of by the State Government before the date

of expiry of the lease, the period of the lease shall be

deemed to have been extended by a further period till the 29

State Government passes order thereon. This sub-rule

cannot apply to a renewal under sub-section (3) of Section 8

of the MMDR Act because the renewal under this provision

cannot be made without express orders of the State

Government recording reasons for renewal in the interest of

mineral development. In other words, so long as there is a

right of renewal in the lessee which in the case of a mining

lease is for a maximum period of twenty years, the provision

regarding deemed extension of a lease can operate, but if

the right of renewal of a mining lease is dependent upon the

State Government forming an opinion that in the interest of

mineral development it is necessary to do so and the State

Government recording reasons therefor, a provision

regarding deemed extension till orders are passed by the

State Government on the application of renewal cannot

apply. We are, therefore, of the opinion that sub-rule (6) of

Rule 24A of the MC Rules will apply to a case of first

renewal under sub-section (2) of Section 8 of the MMDR Act

other than a case covered under sub-rule (9) of Rule 24A of

the MC Rules, but will not apply to renewal under sub-

section (3) of Section 8 of the MMDR Act. In our view, the

deemed mining leases of the lessees in Goa expired on 30

22.11.1987 under sub-section (1) of Section 5 of the

Abolition Act and the maximum of 20 years renewal period

of the deemed mining leases in Goa as provided in sub-

section (2) of Section 8 of the MMDR Act read with sub-

rules (8) and (9) of Rule 24A of the MC Rules expired on

22.11.2007.

Whether dump can be kept beyond the lease area:

25. The report of the Justice Shah Commission states that about

2796.24 ha of area have been found to be under encroachment by

the mining lessees out of which about 578.42 ha have been found

to have been illegally used for extraction/removal of iron ore. The

CEC in its report has stated that the CEC visited some of the areas

stated to be under encroachments and a number of lease holders

have filed representations against the findings of the Shah

Commission stating that they are not involved in any

encroachment. According to the Goa Foundation, this was a gross

illegality committed by the mining lessees.

26. Mr. A.D.N. Rao, the Amicus Curiae, referred to Section 9 of

the MMDR Act to submit that any removal of minerals from the

leased area can be made by holder of a mining lease only on

payment of royalty. He submitted that the waste material and 31

overburden, therefore, cannot be dumped outside the leased area

without payment of royalty. He referred to paragraph 48 of the

judgment of this Court in Samaj Parivartana Samudaya and Ors. v.

State of Karnataka and Ors. [(2013) 8 SCC 154] in which this

Court has observed that dumping of mining waste (overburden

dumps) also constitutes mining operations within the meaning of

Section 3(d) of the MMDR Act and, therefore, the use of forest

land for such activity would require clearances under the Forest

Conservation Act, 1980. He submitted that in the event dumping

of mining waste outside the leased area is to be done, it can only

be done after clearance is obtained under the Forest Conservation

Act, 1980.

27. The learned counsel appearing for the mining lessees

submitted that the lessees have actually used areas outside the

mining lease which are also owned mostly by the lessees for

clearing the dump and this was permissible under the Mineral

Conservation and Development Rules, 1988 (for short ‘MCD

Rules’) and the MC Rules. In particular, they referred to Rule 16 of

the MCD Rules, which provides for separate stacking of non-

saleable minerals, such as over burden and waste material

obtained during mining operation, on the ground earmarked for the

purpose, which should be away from the working pit. They also 32

referred to Rule 64 C of the MC Rules which provides that on

removal of tailings or rejects from the leased area for dumping

outside leased area, such tailings or rejects are not liable for

payment of royalty. The State Government has supported this

stand of the mining lessees that dumping of the overburden and

mining waste outside the lease area was permissible under the

MC Rules and MCD Rules.

28. Sections 4(1) and 9(2) of the MMDR Act, Rule 64C of the MC

Rules and Rule 16 of the MCD Rules are extracted below:

"4. Prospecting or mining operations to be under licence or lease.--(1) No person shall undertake any reconnaissance, prospecting or mining operations in any area, except under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of a reconnaissance permit or of a prospecting licence or, as the case may be, a mining lease, granted under this Act and the rules made thereunder:

Provided that nothing in this sub-section shall affect any prospecting or mining operations undertaken in any area in accordance with the terms and conditions of a prospecting licence or mining lease granted before the commencement of this Act which is in force at such commencement.

Provided further that nothing in this sub-section shall apply to any prospecting operations undertaken by the Geological Survey of India, the Indian Bureau of Mines, the Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research of the Department of Atomic Energy of the Central Government, the Directorates of Mining and 33

Geology of any State Government (by whatevername called), and the Mineral ExplorationCorporation Limited, a Government Company withinthe meaning of Section 617 of the Companies Act,1956.

Provided also that nothing in this sub-section shallapply to any mining lease (whether called mininglease, mining concession or by any other name) inforce immediately before the commencement of thisAct in the Union territory of Goa, Daman and Diu.

...................................................................."

"9. Royalties in respect of mining leases.--

(1) ................................................................

(2) The holder of a mining lease granted on or afterthe commencement of this Act shall pay royalty inrespect of any (mineral removed or consumed byhis agent, manager, employee, contractor of sub-lessee) from the leased area at the rate for the timebeing specified in the Second Schedule in respectof that mineral.

......................................................................."

"64C. Royalty on tailings or rejects.--On removalof tailings or rejects from the leased area fordumping and not for sale or consumption, outsideleased area such tailings or rejects shall not beliable for payment of royalty:

Provided that in case so dumped tailings or rejectsare used for sale or consumption on any later date 34

after the date of such dumping, then, such tailings or rejects shall be liable for payment of royalty."

"16. Separate stacking of non-salable minerals.-- (1) The overburden and waste material obtained during mining operations shall not be allowed to be mixed with non-salable or sub-grade minerals/ores. They shall be dumped and stacked separately on the ground earmarked for the purpose.

(2) The ground selected for dumping of overburden, waste material, the sub-grade or non-salable ores/minerals shall be away from working pit. It shall be proved for absence or presence of underlying mineral deposits before it is brought into use for dumping.

(3) Before starting mining operations, the ultimate size of the pit shall be determined and the dumping ground shall be so selected that the dumping is not carried out within the limits of the ultimate size of the pit except in cases where concurrent backfilling is proposed."

29. Under Section 4 of the MMDR Act, a person who holds a

mining lease granted under the MMDR Act and the Rules

made thereunder is entitled to carry on mining operations in

accordance with the terms of the lease in the leased area

and may carry on all other activities connected with mining

within the leased area. Rule 31 of the MC Rules prescribes

that the lease deed will be in Form K or in a form near

thereto. Part I of Form K delineates the area of the lease 35

and Part II of Form K authorizes the activities that can be

done by the lessee in the leased area. Thus, a holder of a

mining lease does not have any right to dump any reject,

tailings or waste in any area outside the leased area of the

mining lease on the strength of a mining lease granted

under the MMDR Act and the Rules made thereunder.

Such area outside the leased area of the mining lease may

belong to the State or may belong to any private person,

but if the mining lease does not confer any right whatsoever

on the holder of a mining lease to dump any mining waste

outside the leased area, he will have no legal right

whatsoever to remove his dump, overburden, tailings or

rejects and keep the same in such area outside the leased

area. In other words, dumping of any waste materials,

tailings and rejects outside the leased area would be

without a valid authorization under the lease-deed.

30. Moreover, Section 9(2) of the MMDR Act makes the holder

of a mining lease granted on or after the commencement of

the Act liable to pay royalty in respect of any mineral

removed or consumed by him or by his agent, manager,

employee, contractor or sub-lessee from the leased area.

Thus, the moment the mineral is removed or consumed 36

from the leased area, the holder of a mining lease has to

pay royalty. By virtue of Section 9 of the MMDR Act,

tailings and rejects excavated during mining operations

being minerals will also be exigible to royalty the moment

they are removed from the leased area.

31. Rule 64C of the MC Rules states that on removal of tailings

or rejects from the leased area for dumping and not for sale

or consumption, outside leased area such tailings or rejects

shall not be liable for payment of royalty. Rule 64C of the

MC Rules, therefore, exempts the removal of tailings or

rejects from the leased area for the purpose of dumping

and not for the purpose of sale or consumption from the

levy of royalty. Rule 64C of the MC Rules does not

authorise dumping of tailings or rejects in any area outside

the leased area. This Court has held in The Central Bank

of India & Ors. v. Their Workmen, etc. [AIR 1960 SC 12]

that ‘if a rule goes beyond what the section contemplates,

the rule must yield to the statute’. In our view, if Rule 64C

of the MC Rules suggests that tailings or rejects can be

dumped outside the leased area, it must give way to

Section 4 of the MMDR Act, which does not authorise

dumping of minerals outside the leased area and must give 37

way to Section 9 of the MMDR Act which does not

authorise removal of minerals outside the leased area

without payment of royalty. We, therefore, hold that dump

cannot be kept by the lessees beyond the leased area.

32. Rule 16 of the MCD Rules provides that the overburden and

waste material obtained during mining operations shall be dumped

and stacked separately on the ground earmarked for the purpose

and the ground selected for dumping of overburden, waste

material shall be away from working pit. There is nothing in sub-

rules (1), (2) and (3) of Rule 16 of the MCD Rules, which provides

that such overburden or waste material obtained from mining

operations shall be kept ‘outside the leased area’. On the other

hand, clause (7) of Part II of Form-K provides as follows:

"Liberty and power to enter upon and use a sufficient part of the surface of the said lands for the purpose of stacking, heaping, storing or depositing therein any produce of the mines or works carried on and any tools, equipment, earth and materials and substances dug or raised under the liberties and powers mentioned in this part."

The expression ‘said lands’ in clause (7) of Part II of Form-K

quoted above refers to the area of the lease in Part I of Form K

and, therefore, is confined to the leased area. Rule 16 of the MCD

Rules, therefore, cannot be read to permit dumping of overburden 38

and waste materials obtained from mining operations outside the

leased area.

33. Learned counsel for the lessees, however, submitted that

many of these areas in which they have dumped the overburdens,

tailings and rejects are lands owned by them and by virtue of their

ownership right they could dump the mining waste on their own

lands. This contention of learned counsel appearing for the

lessees loses sight of the fact that most of these lands are located

in forest areas where non-forest activity, such as mining, is

prohibited under Section 2 of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980

without the prior permission of the Central Government. Moreover,

the notification issued under sub-rule (3) of Rule 5 of the

Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 requiring prior

environmental clearance covers the activity of mining. Sub-rule (3)

of Rule 5 empowers the Central Government to impose prohibition

or restrictions on the location of an industry or the carrying on of

processes and operations in an area for the purpose of protecting

the environment. Inasmuch as the activity of dumping mineral

wastes will pollute the environment, it will come within the meaning

of activity of mining included in the Schedule to the notification

issued under sub-rule (3) of Rule 5 of the Environment (Protection)

Rules, 1986. Thus, for dumping of mining waste on a private land, 39

a prior clearance of the Central Government under the notification

issued under sub-rule (3) of Rule 5 of the Environment (Protection)

Rules, 1986 would be necessary. We, therefore, do not find any

merit in the contention of learned counsel for the lessees that they

can dump mining waste outside the leased area.

Within what distance from the boundaries of National Parksand Wildlife Sanctuaries, is mining not permissible in theState of Goa:

34. The Justice Shah Commission has stated in its report that

the National Board for Wild Life (NBWL) adopted "The Wild Life

Conservation Strategy-2002" and took a decision in its meeting

held on 21.1.2002 under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister to

notify the areas within 10 kms. from the boundaries of National

Parks and Sanctuaries as eco-fragile zones under section 3(v) of

the Environment (Protection) Act and Rule 5, Sub-rule (1)(viii) & (x)

of the Environment (Protection) Rules and this decision has been

communicated on 5.2.2002 to the Chief Wild Life Warden,

Government of Goa and the State Government has been

requested to list out such areas and furnish a detailed proposal for

their notification as eco-sensitive areas under the Environment

(Protection) Act, 1986. The Justice Shah Commission has found

that this has not been done till date but the Government of Goa

has allowed mines to operate. In this context, the Justice Shah 40

Commission Report has referred to the order dated 04.12.2006 of

this Court in Writ Petition No.460/2004 (Goa Foundation v. Union

of India) by which this Court had directed the MoEF to refer to the

Standing Committee of the National Board for Wild Life, under

Sections 5B and 5C (2) of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, the cases

in which environmental clearance has already been granted where

activities are within 10 kms. zone. According to the report of the

Justice Shah Commission, in spite of the clear provisions of

Section 3(2)(v) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and the

EIA Notifications, conferring the jurisdiction, power and authority

on the Central Government (MoEF) to grant or refuse prior

environment clearance for any iron ore mining activity within 10

kms. of National Parks, Sanctuaries and Protected Areas and

despite provisions in Section 5C(2)(b) of the Wild Life (Protection)

Act, 1972 putting a restriction on mining activities inside National

Parks, Sanctuaries and other Protected and eco-sensitive Areas,

mining activities have been permitted within 10 kms. and inside the

National Parks, Sanctuaries and Protected Areas. The report of

the Justice Shah Commission further states that out of the

environmental clearances, the clearances with regard to 74 mining

leases should have been placed before the Standing Committee of

the National Board for Wildlife in accordance with the order dated 41

04.12.2006 of this Court. The report of the Justice Shah

Commission further states that there has been a total failure on the

part of the MoEF in not considering this issue while granting the

environmental clearances.

35. The Justice Shah Commission in its report has further stated

that in the order dated 04.08.2006 of this Court in T.N.

Godavarman Thirumulpad v. Union of India & Ors., this Court has

taken a view that 1 km. from the boundaries of National Parks and

Sanctuaries would be a safety zone, subject to the orders that may

be made in IA No.1000 regarding Jamua Ramgarh Sanctuary and

the State will not grant any Temporary Working Permit (TWP) in

these safety zones comprising 1 km. from the boundaries of

National Parks and Sanctuaries and yet some of the mines within

1 km. from the boundaries of National Parks and Sanctuaries have

been allowed in the State of Goa.

36. The CEC in its report is of the view that had the MoEF

implemented this Court’s orders dated 14.02.2000 and

04.12.2006, the unregulated and environmentally unsustainable

manner in which mining has taken place in Goa would have been

avoided. The CEC has suggested that all environmental

clearances granted for mining leases located upto a distance of 10

kms. from the boundaries of National Parks and Wildlife 42

Sanctuaries should be directed to be kept in abeyance and the

environmental clearances should be directed to be considered by

the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife in

accordance with this Court’s order dated 04.12.2006 and the

Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Regional Office,

MoEF, Bangalore, should be directed to verify, after examining the

EIA/EMP reports and other relevant details, whether the mining

operations will have adverse impact on the flora, fauna and wildlife

habitat and whether the distance of the National Parks/Wildlife

Sanctuaries and that the status of the ‘forest’ have been correctly

stated in the EC/application for taking a decision regarding EC’s

and only after considering the recommendations of the Standing

Committee of the National Board of Wildlife and the report of the

Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Central) and

other relevant information/details, this Court may take a decision.

Mr. Prashant Bhushan, learned counsel appearing for the Goa

Foundation, submitted that there should be no mining activity

within any National Parks/Wildlife Sanctuaries or within 10 kms.

from the boundaries of National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries so

that the flora, fauna and wildlife habitat of National Parks and

Wildlife Sanctuaries are protected.

37. Learned counsel for the lessees, on the other hand, stated 43

that so far as the State of Goa is concerned, on the one side, there

is a coastal regulation zone in which mining is not permitted and,

on the other side, are the National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries

in which again mining is not permitted and as a consequence a

very small strip of land is available for mining. They submitted that

there is no basis for presuming that an area outside the limits of a

National Park or a Wildlife Sanctuary is required to be maintained

as a buffer zone. They submitted that by the order dated

04.12.2006 of this Court passed in Writ Petition (C) No.460 of

2004, this Court did not finally fix the buffer zone of 10 kms. from

the boundaries of National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries, but

granted a last opportunity to the States to submit their

recommendations for eco-sensitive zone and that the issue is still

pending in I.A. No.1000 in Writ Petition 202 of 1995 in T.N.

Godavarman Thirumulpad v. Union of India & Ors. They further

argued that by the order dated 04.08.2006, this Court had only

directed that no mining would be permitted by Temporary Working

Permits within 1 km. from the National Parks and Wildlife

Sanctuaries and by the said order, absolute ban has not been

imposed against mining even within 1 km. from the boundaries of

National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries. They argued that for

declaration of eco-sensitive zone, a notification under Section 3 of 44

the Environment (Protect) Act, 1986 is mandatory and till date no

such notification has been issued for the State of Goa delineating

any eco-sensitive zone and in the absence of such a notification

mining activities cannot be prohibited beyond the boundaries of a

national park/wildlife sanctuary.

38 Mr. Nadkarni, learned Advocate General appearing for the

State of Goa, submitted that presently the State of Goa is not

permitting mining inside any National Park or Wildlife Sanctuary.

He submitted that each of the seven wildlife sanctuaries in the

State of Goa have got revenue villages and local habitation of

people inside the sanctuaries and before notifying the buffer zone

around a wildlife sanctuary the consequences of the restrictions of

the buffer zone on the local population and on the local

development have to be weighed. He submitted that the State

Government is of the considered opinion that while evolving a

conservation strategy, the following peculiar local constraints in the

State of Goa have to be considered:

(i) The State of Goa is the 3rd smallest State in the Union; with a total geographical are of only 3,702 square metres; and out of that, an area of 1,440 square metres is under ‘Forest’ (protected/reserved/private) which is almost about 38% of the total geographical area;

(ii) Out of the said area under ‘Forest’ nearly 62% 45

i.e. 75.35 square metres has been declared as ‘National Park’, and/or ‘Wildlife Sanctuary’;

(iii) An area of approximately or more than 70 square kilometres falls under the ‘Coastal Regulation Zone’ (CRZ). Indeed, the CRZ runs into 106 kms., of the Coastal Belt of the State of Goa;

(iv) In fact, the total land mass available to the

State of Goa, free from various restrictions, would further be reduced by 196.80 square kilometers, i.e. up to 5.32%, on account of Rivers, Lakes and other Water Bodies;

(v) Indeed, approximately 40% of the land is under agriculture which the Government has decided not to be diverted under any circumstances;

(vi) Further, the State Government has also directed that no ‘Forest Land’ is to be diverted for any mining purpose.

He submitted that considering all these constraints, the State

Government has recommended that an area up to 1 km. from the

boundaries of National Parks/Wildlife Sanctuaries should be

treated as safety zones but even in these safety zones mining

activity should be prohibited in a phased manner in 5 to 10 years.

39. Mr. Mohan Parasaran, learned Solicitor General, submitted

that the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Chief Wildlife

Warden, Government of Goa, vide his letter dated 02.05.2013 has

submitted six proposals for declaration of eco-sensitive zones 46

around six protected areas in the State of Goa (National

Parks/Wildlife Sanctuaries) and the proposals were referred to a

Committee constituted under the Chairmanship of Dr. Rajesh

Gopal, Additional Director General of Forests and Member

Secretary of National Tiger Conservation Authority-Chairman, with

the following Terms of Reference:

(i) The Committee will undertake a site specific site survey of all six protected areas in Goa, with reference to studying the topography and report on the existing natural boundaries around that is outside each protected area. Such boundaries could include inter alia rivers, hills etc. (ii) The Committee will draw up a definition of what could constitute a credible natural boundary, always keeping in mind that the object is to protect the flora, fauna and biodiversity in the PA from biotic pressure. (iii) The Committee will submit its views on whether any of the natural boundaries of the PAs in Goa could be an effective boundary of a robust Eco-Sensitive Zone around the P.A.

He submitted that the Committee has submitted its report on

18.10.2013 and the report has been considered by the Ministry of

Environment and Forests and by office memorandum dated

24.10.2013, the Ministry of Environment and Forests has not

accepted the recommendation of the Government of Goa

regarding buffer zone and instead accepted the recommendation 47

of the Committee to define the eco-sensitive zones in site specific

manner subject to the relevant Court orders on the subject and

that a draft notification defining eco-sensitive zones around each of

the six protected areas would be issued for stakeholder

consultations.

40. We have considered the submissions of learned counsel for

the parties and we find that presently no mining operations

are being carried on inside any National Park or Wildlife

Sanctuary, and the State of Goa has taken a stand before us

that it will not permit any mining operations inside any

National Park or Wildlife Sanctuary. Hence, the only

question that we have to decide is whether mining could

have been permitted or could be permitted within a certain

distance from the boundaries of the National Park or Wildlife

Sanctuary in the State of Goa.

41. This Court in exercise of its power under Article 32 of the

Constitution can direct the State to prohibit mining activities

in an area adjacent to a National Park or a Wildlife Sanctuary

for the purpose of protecting the flora, fauna and wildlife

habitat of the National Park/Wildlife Sanctuary because

these constitute part of the natural environment necessary

for healthy life of persons living in the State of Goa. The 48

right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution is a guarantee

against the State and for enforcing this fundamental right of

persons the State, which alone has a right to grant mining

leases of the mines located inside the State, can be directed

by the Court by an appropriate writ or direction not to grant

mining leases or not to allow mining that will be violative

under Article 21 of the Constitution. In Re: Construction of

Park at NOIDA near Okhla Bird Sanctuary [(2011) 1 SCC

744] a three-Judge Bench (Forest Bench) of this Court has

observed:

"...... Environment is one of the facets of the right to life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. Environment is, therefore, a matter directly under the Constitution and if the Court perceives any project or activity as harmful or injurious to the environment it would feel obliged to step in. ...."

Thus, the submissions of learned counsel for the lessees that until

a notification is issued under the Environment (Protection) Act,

1986 and the Rules made thereunder prohibiting mining activities

in an area outside the boundaries of a National Park/Wildlife

Sanctuary, no mining can be prohibited by this Court is

misconceived.

42. We may now examine whether this Court has by the orders 49

passed on 04.08.2006 and 04.12.2006, prohibited mining activities

around National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries. When we read the

order of this Court passed on 04.08.2006 in T.N. Godavarman

Thirumulpad v. Union of India & Ors., we find that the Court while

considering the question of grant of Temporary Working Permits

for mining activities in National Parks, Sanctuaries and forest

areas, directed that Temporary Working Permits shall be granted

only where the conditions stipulated in the said order are satisfied.

Condition Nos. (ii) and (iii) stipulated in the order dated 04.08.2006

are extracted hereinbelow:

"(ii) The mine is not located inside any National Park/Sanctuary notified under Section 18, 26-A or 35 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972;

(iii) The grant of the T.W.P. would not result in any mining activity within the safety zone around such areas referred to in (ii) above, (as an interim measure, one kilometre safety zone shall be maintained subject to the orders that may be made in I.A. No.1000 regarding Jamua Ramgarh Sanctuary);’"

It would, thus, be clear that this Court was of the opinion that grant

of Temporary Working Permits should not result in any mining

activities within the safety zones around a National Park or Wildlife

Sanctuary and as an interim measure, one kilometer safety zone

was to be maintained subject to the orders that may be made in

I.A. No.1000 in Jamua Ramgarh Sanctuary. This order dated 50

04.08.2006 has not been varied subsequently nor any orders

made in I.A.No. 1000 regarding Jamua Ramgarh Sanctuary saying

that Temporary Working Permits can be granted within one

kilometer safety zone beyond the boundaries of a National Park or

Wildlife Sanctuary. The result is that the order passed by this

Court saying that there will be no mining activity within one

kilometer safety zone around National Park or Wildlife Sanctuary

has to be enforced and there can be no mining activities within this

area of one kilometer from the boundaries of National Parks and

Wildlife Sanctuaries in the State of Goa.

43. When, however, we read the order dated 4.12.2006 of this

Court in Writ Petition (C) No.460 of 2004 (Goa Foundation v.

Union of India), we find that the Court has not prohibited any

mining activity within 10 kilometer distance from the boundaries of

the National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries. The relevant portion of

the order dated 04.12.2006 is quoted hereinbelow:

"The Ministry is directed to give a final opportunity to all States/Union Territories to respond to its letter dated 27th May, 2005. The State of Goa also is permitted to given appropriate proposal in addition to what is said to have already been sent to the Central Government. The Communication sent to the States/Union Territories shall make it clear that if the proposals are not sent even now within a period of four weeks of receipt of the communication from the Ministry, this Court may 51

have to consider passing orders for implementation of the decision that was taken on 21st January, 2002, namely, notification of the areas within 10 km. of the boundaries of the sanctuaries and national parks as eco-sensitive areas with a view to conserve the forest, wildlife and environment and having regard to the precautionary principles. If the State/Union Territories now fail to respond, they would do so

at their own risk and peril.

The MoEF would also refer to the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife, under sections 5 (b) and 5 (c) (ii) of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, the cases where environment clearance has already been granted where activities are within 10 km. zone."

It will be clear from the order dated 4.12.2006 of this Court that this

Court has not passed any orders for implementation of the

decision taken on 21st January, 2002 to notify areas within 10 kms.

of the boundaries of National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries as eco

sensitive areas with a view to conserve the forest, wildlife and

environment. By the order dated 04.12.2006 of this Court,

however, the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of

India, was directed to give a final opportunity to all States/Union

Territories to respond to the proposal and also to refer to the

Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife the cases in

which environment clearance has already been granted in respect

of activities within the 10 kms. zone from the boundaries of the

wildlife sanctuaries and national parks. There is, therefore, no 52

direction, interim or final, of this Court prohibiting mining activities

within 10 kms. of the boundaries of National Parks or Wildlife

Sanctuaries.

44. Apart from the powers of the Court to give a direction

prohibiting mining activities up to a certain distance from the

boundaries of National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries, the Central

Government has powers under Rule 5 of the Environment

Protection Rules, 1986 to prohibit carrying on of mining operations

in areas which are proximate to a Wildlife Sanctuary or a National

Park. Rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 is

extracted herein under:

"5. Prohibitions and restrictions on the location of industries and the carrying on processes and operations in different areas (1) The Central government may take into consideration the following factors while prohibiting or restricting the location of industries and carrying on of processes and operations in different areas-

(i) Standards for quality of environment in its various

aspects laid down for an area.

(ii) The maximum allowable limits of concentration of various environmental pollutants (including noise) [or an area.

(iii) The likely emission or discharge of environmental pollutants from an industry, process or operation proposed to be prohibited or restricted.

(iv) The topographic and climatic features of an area. 53

(v) The biological diversity of the area which, in theopinion of the Central Government needs to bepreserved.

(vi) Environmentally compatible land use.

(vii) Net adverse environmental impact likely to becaused by an industry, process or operationproposed to be prohibited or restricted.

(viii) Proximity to a protected area under the AncientMonuments and Archaeological Sites and RemainsAct, 1958 or a sanctuary, National Park, gamereserve or closed area notified as such under theWild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 or places protectedunder any treaty, agreement or convention with anyother country or countries or in pursuance of anydecision made in any international confcrcnce1association or other body.

(ix) Proximity to human settlements.(x) Any other factor as may be considered by theCentral Government to be relevant to the protectionof the environment in an area.

(2) While prohibiting or restricting the location ofindustries and carrying on of processes andoperations in an area, the Central Government shallfollow the procedure hereinafter laid down.

(3) (a) Whenever it appears to the CentralGovernment that it is expedient to imposeprohibition or restrictions on the locations Of anindustry or the carrying on of processes andoperations in an area, it may by notification in theOfficial Gazette and in such other manner as theCentral government may deem necessary from timeto time, give notice of its intention to do so.

(b) Every notification under clause (a) shall give abrief description of the area, the industries,operations, processes in that area about which suchnotification pertains and also specify the reasons for 54

the imposition of prohibition or restrictions on the locations of the industries and carrying on of process or operations in that area.

(c) Any person interested in filing an objection against the imposition of prohibition or restrictions on carrying on of processes or operations as

notified under clause (a) may do so in writing to the Central Government within sixty days from the date of publication of the notification in the Official Gazette.

(d) The Central Government shall within a period of one hundred and twenty days from the date of publication of the notification in the Official Gazette consider all the objections received against such notification and may within one hundred and eighty days from such day of publication] impose prohibition or restrictions on location of such industries and the carrying on of any process or operation in an area.

(4) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (3), whenever it appears to the Central Government that it is in public interest to do so, it may dispense with the requirement of notice under clause (a) of sub-rule (3)."

45. Sub-rule (1) of Rule 5 lists the number of factors, which the

Central Government has to take into consideration while

prohibiting or restricting the carrying on of processes and

operations in different areas. Sub-rule (2) of Rule 5 provides that

before prohibiting the processes and operations in the area the

Central Government has to follow the procedure laid down in sub-

rule (3). The procedure in sub-rule (3) of Rule 5 of the

Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 includes giving notice of the 55

intention of the Central Government to prohibit the carrying on of

processes and operations in the reserved area, giving brief

description of the area, the operations and processes in that area

relating to which the notification pertains and also specifying the

reasons for the imposition of the prohibition on carrying on of the

processes or operations in that area, and an opportunity to

persons interested in filing an objection against the imposition of

such prohibition on carrying on of processes or operations by the

Central Government. These procedural checks have been made

in Rule 5 because a notification issued by the Central Government

prohibiting an operation or a process will have serious

consequences on the rights of different persons. For example,

persons who are carrying on the process or operation and those

who are directly or indirectly employed in the process or the

operation may be affected by the proposed prohibition of the

process or the operation in the entire area. Therefore until the

Central Government takes into account various factors mentioned

in sub-rule (1), follows the procedure laid down in sub-rule (3) and

issues a notification under Rule 5 prohibiting mining operations in

a certain area, there can be no prohibition under law to carry on

mining activity beyond 1 km. of the boundaries of National Parks or

Wildlife Sanctuaries. 56

46. In fact, we find that the process of issuing a notification under

Rule 5 of the Environmental Protection Rules, 1986

prohibiting mining activities in eco-sensitive zones around

the National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries in the State of Goa

has now been initiated. The Government of Goa vide letter

dated 02.05.2013 submitted the following six proposals for

declaration of eco- sensitive zones around protected areas in

the State of Goa to the Ministry: (i) Cotigao Wildlife

Sanctuaries; (ii) Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary; (iii) Bhagwan

Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary and Bhagwan Mahaveer

National Park; (iv) Madei Wildlife Sanctuary; (v) Bondla

Wildlife Sanctuary; and (vi) Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary.

These six proposals were referred to a Committee

constituted under the Chairmanship of Dr. Rajesh Gopal,

Additional Director General of Forests and Member

Secretary of National Tiger Conservation Authority, with

specified terms of reference and the Committee gave its

findings and the Ministry of Environment and Forests,

Government of India by the Office Memorandum dated

24.10.2013 have accepted the findings of the Committee and

rejected the proposals of the Government of Goa. It is also 57

stated in the Office Memorandum dated 24.10.2013 of the

Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India

that a draft notification defining Eco-Sensitive Zones around

each protected area is being issued for stakeholder

consultations. This notification will have to be issued under

sub-rule (3) of Rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules,

1986, and after objections are received, the Central

Government will have to consider the same and thereafter

take the decision regarding imposition of prohibition of

mining activities in the eco sensitive areas within the period

stipulated in sub-rule 3(b) of Rule 5 of the Environment

(Protection) Rules, 1986. At this stage, we can only direct

the Ministry of Environment and Forests to follow the

procedure and issue the notification of eco sensitive zones

under Rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986

within six months.

Whether there has been a violation of Rules 37 and 38 of theMC Rules by the mining lessees in the State of Goa:

47. The Justice Shah Commission has found in its report that in

the State of Goa, 16 companies/firms/individuals are carrying

out mining operations under different leases granted to them

as a single unit as if the leases are amalgamated. The Shah 58

Commission has referred to Rule 38 of the MC Rules which

provides that the State Government may, in the interest of

mineral development and with reasons to be recorded in

writing, permit amalgamation of two or more adjoining leases

held by a lessee provided that the period of amalgamated

leases shall be co-terminus with the lease whose period will

expire first. The Justice Shah Commission is of the opinion

that as amalgamation of two leases can only be permitted by

the State Government for reasons to be recorded in writing,

and no such permission has been taken from the State

Government for the amalgamation of different leases as a

single unit, the lessees who are operating different leases as

a single unit have violated Rule 38 of the MC Rules.

48. The CEC in its report, however, has not stated about any

violation of Rule 38 of the MC Rules and has instead stated

that Rule 37 of the MC Rules which provides that the lessee

shall not, without the previous consent in writing of the State

Government assign, sublet, mortgage, or in any other

manner, transfer the mining lease, or any right, title or

interest therein, has been violated by several lessees. The

CEC has reported that there are several complaints received 59

by the State Government that the leases have been operated

by the persons other than the lessees. The CEC has

observed in its report that Rule 37 itself provides that in such

cases of violation of Rule 37, the State Government may

determine the mining lease, but the State Government has

taken no action and has taken a stand that working of the

mining leases by a person other than lease holder is a

prevailing mining practice in Goa and these facts are in the

knowledge of the Government. Mr. Prashant Bhushan,

learned counsel for the Goa Foundation, submitted that in all

these cases the violation should be identified by a

Committee headed by the Chief Secretary, Goa, and those

lessees who have been found to have violated Rule 37 of the

MC Rules, should be penalized by determination of the

leases.

49. Rules 37 and 38 of the MC Rules are extracted hereinbelow:

"37. Transfer of lease. - (1) The lessee shall not, without the previous consent in writing of the State Government and in the case of mining lease in respect of any mineral specified in [Part ‘A’ and Part ‘B’ of] the First Schedule to the Act, without the previous approval of the Central Government :- 60

(a) assign, sublet, mortgage, or in any othermanner, transfer the mining lease, or any right,title or interest therein, or

(b) enter into or make any bonafide arrangement,contract, or understanding whereby the lesseewill or may be directly or indirectly financed to asubstantial extent by, or under which the lessee’s

operations or undertakings will or may besubstantially controlled by, any person or body ofpersons other than the lessee:

Provided further that where the mortgagee is aninstitution or a Bank or a Corporation specified inSchedule V, it shall not be necessary for thelessee to obtain any such consent of the StateGovernment.

(1A) The State Government shall not give itsconsent to transfer of mining lease unless thetransferee has accepted all the conditions andliabilities which the transferor was having inrespect of such mining lease.

(2) Without prejudice to the provisions of sub-rule(1) the lessee may, subject to the conditionsspecified in the proviso to rule 35, transfer hislease or any right, title or interest therein to aperson who has filed an affidavit stating that hehas filed an up-to-date income-tax returns, paidthe income tax assessed on him and paid theincome tax on the basis of self-assessment asprovided in the Income Tax Act, 1961( 43 of1961), on payment of a fee of five hundredrupees to the State Government:

Provided that the lessee shall make available tothe transferee the original or certified copies of allplans of abandoned workings in the area and in abelt 65 metres wide surrounding it; 61

Provided further that where the mortgagee is aninstitution or a Bank or a Corporation specified inSchedule V, it shall not be necessary for anysuch institution or Bank or Corporation to meetwith the requirement relating to income tax;

Provided further that the lessee shall not chargeor accept from the transferee any premium inaddition to the sum spent by him, in obtaining thelease, and for conducting all or any of theoperations referred to in rule 30 in or over theland leased to him;

(3) The State Government may, by order inwriting determine any lease at any time if thelessee has, in the opinion of the StateGovernment, committed a breach of any of theprovisions of sub-rule (1) or sub-rule (1A) or hastransferred any lease or any right, title or interesttherein otherwise than in accordance with sub-rule (2);

Provided that no such order shall be madewithout giving the lessee a reasonableopportunity of stating his case.

38. Amalgamation of leases. - The StateGovernment may, in the interest of mineraldevelopment and with reasons to be recorded inwriting, permit amalgamation of two or moreadjoining leases held by a lessee:

Provided that the period of amalgamated leasesshall be co-terminus with the lease whose periodwill expire first:

Provided further that prior approval of the CentralGovernment shall be required for suchamalgamation in respect of leases for minerals 62

specified in Part ‘A’ and Part ‘B’ of the First Schedule to the Act.

It will be clear from sub-rule (1)(a) of Rule 37 that the lessee

cannot assign, sublet, mortgage, or in any other manner, transfer

the mining lease, or any right, title or interest therein, without the

previous consent in writing of the State Government in the case of

those minerals which are not specified in Part A and Part B of the

First Schedule to the Act. Since iron ore is specified in Part C of

the First Schedule to the Act, the previous consent in writing of the

State Government is necessary before any such transfer is made

by a mining lessee. Sub-rule (1A) of Rule 37 further states that the

State Government shall not give its consent to transfer of a mining

lease unless the transferee has accepted all the conditions and

liabilities which the transferor was having in respect of such mining

lease. Sub-rule (3) of Rule 37 further provides that the State

Government may, by order in writing determine any lease at any

time if the lessee has, in the opinion of the State Government

committed a breach of any of the provisions of sub-rule (1) or sub-

rule (1A) of Rule 37 of the MC Rules. These provisions have been

made in Rule 37 to ensure that all the conditions and liabilities to

which a lessee is subjected to under a mining lease are also

accepted by the transferee. Sub-rule (2) of Rule 37 further 63

provides that without prejudice to the provisions of sub-rule (1), the

lessee may transfer his lease or any right, title or interest therein to

a person who has filed an affidavit stating that he has filed up-to-

date income-tax returns, paid the income-tax assessed on him and

paid the income-tax on the basis of self-assessment as provided in

the Income Tax Act, 1961. This provision is meant to ensure that

the transferee of a mining lease is an income-tax assessee and is

paying his income tax assessed on him and due from him on the

basis of self-assessment. Sub-rule (3) of Rule 37 empowers the

State Government to determine any lease at any time if the lessee

has, in the opinion of the State Government, committed a breach

of any of the provisions of sub-rule (1) or sub-rule (1A) or has

transferred any lease or any right, title, or interest therein

otherwise than in accordance with sub-rule (2) after giving the

lessee a reasonable opportunity of stating his case. The intent of

the Rule-making authority in making these provisions in Rule 37 is

that the liabilities and conditions in a mining lease are also

enforceable against the transferee and that the transferee pays his

dues towards income tax regularly. Rule 37, therefore, cannot be

allowed to be violated by the lessees with impunity and the State

Government cannot overlook transfers by saying that the transfers

of the mining leases are part of the mining practice in the State of 64

Goa. In our view, if these violations of Rule 37 are allowed, there

shall be substantial leakage of revenue and mining operations

cannot be effectively regulated and controlled by the State

Government. The State Government, therefore, must initiate

action against those mining leases who violate Rule 37 of the

Rules.

50. Rule 38 of the MC Rules provides that the State Government

may, in the interest of mineral development and with reasons

to be recorded in writing, permit amalgamation of two or

more adjoining leases held by a lessee, provided that the

period of amalgamated leases shall be co-terminus with the

lease whose period will expire first. If the State Government

has not permitted amalgamation of adjoining leases in the

interest of mineral development and has not recorded the

reasons for such permission, the State Government cannot

allow the amalgamation of the leases.

Was there a complete lack of control on production andtransportation of mineral from the mining leases in the Stateof Goa: 65

51. The CEC in its report has stated that in the State of Goa,

there is no system of periodic verification of the quantity of

iron ore produced in the mining leases, the payments of

royalty, the permits issued for transportation of mineral by

the Mining Department, the transit permits issued by the

Forest Department nor any reconciliation of the quantity of

the mineral stated to have been produced in the mining

lease with the quantity of the mineral for which royalty has

been paid and transit permits have been issued, and there is

no verification of the transit permits at the check posts and

no verification of the quantity of the mineral

exported/domestically used vis-‘-vis the quantity legally

produced. According to the CEC, in the absence of such

checks/verifications/controls, illegal mining can easily be

undertaken and the actual quantity of iron ore produced and

transported from the mining leases may not be accounted for

by the State of Goa or by the lessees, resulting in leakage of

revenue. The CEC in its report has given a chart to show

the difference of figures in the iron ore exported as provided

by the Goan Mineral Ore Exporters’ Association and the total

iron ore produced in the State of Goa as per reports 66

compiled by the Indian Bureau of Mines, which is extracted

hereinbelow:

Year Goan Iron Ore Total (In Lakh MT) Exports Production

Excess of exports over production2006-2007 308.940 277.931 31.0092007-2008 334.334 300.091 34.253

According to the CEC, there is every reason to believe that the

excess quantity of 395.645 lakh MT, as shown in the aforesaid

chart, is illegally mined ore.

52. We entirely agree with the CEC report that in the absence of

proper checks, verifications and controls, there is bound to

be illegal mining, storage and transportation of minerals, but

we find that after the CEC Report, the Goa (Prevention of

Illegal Mining, Storage and Transportation of Minerals)

Rules, 2013 have been framed by the State Government

under Section 23(c) of the MMDR Act. A reading of these

Rules show that several provisions have been made in these 67

rules to prevent illegal mining and to regulate the sale,

export and transit of ore, storage of mineral and

transportation and winning of mineral. The rules also

provide for establishment of check posts, barriers and

weighbridges and inspection of minerals in transit.

Moreover, these rules empower any person authorised by

the Government to enter, inspect, search and seize articles.

These rules will have to be strictly enforced by the State

Government and we hope that by such strict enforcement of

these rules, the mining, storage and transportation of

minerals in the State of Goa will get controlled and regulated

and the leakages and evasion of revenue will, to a large

extent, be prevented.

To what extent mining has damaged the environment in Goaand what measures are to be taken to ensure inter-generational equity and sustainable development:

53. Mr. Prashant Bhushan, learned senior counsel appearing for

Goa Foundation, relying on the report of the Justice Shah

Commission, submitted that substantial damage has been caused

to the eco sensitive zone in Goa by excavating large quantities of

iron ore through mining and as suggested by the Justice Shah

Commission action should be taken in this regard. He submitted 68

that the conditions stipulated in the EIA clearances imposed by the

Chief Wildlife Warden, Goa, have not been implemented. He

submitted that the environmental clearance system has actually

collapsed resulting in amassing of wealth by certain individuals

and companies at the cost of the environment and the eco-system.

He submitted that principles of sustainable development and inter-

generational equity which were part of the fundamental right under

Article 21 of the Constitution, require that a cap should be put on

the annual excavation of iron ore from different mines in the State

of Goa, after taking into account the need to conserve iron ore

resources for future generations and the carrying capacity of the

State of Goa for mining and transportation of mineral ores.

54. Learned counsel appearing for the lessees, on the other

hand, submitted that there are adequate provisions in the MCD

Rules for preventing damage to the environment and for

restoration of the environment. They referred to Rules 23A, 23B,

23D and 23E of the MCD Rules which relate to the mine closure

plan which must provide for protective measures including

reclamation and rehabilitation work. They submitted that the holder

of the mining lease, therefore, has to take all the protective

measures including reclamation and rehabilitation work before 69

abandoning the mine. They submitted that Chapter V of the MCD

Rules also contains various provisions which a holder of mining

lease has to comply and these provisions include precautions for

protection of environment and controlling of pollution while

conducting mining operations in the area. In reply to the

submissions of Mr. Bhushan that there should be a cap on the

annual excavation of mineral ore in the State of Goa to ensure that

future generations are not denied the mineral resources, Mr. Mukul

Rohtagi, learned senior counsel appearing for Sesa Goa Limited,

relied on a publication of the British Geological Survey and

submitted that there would never be any scarcity of mineral

resources and there would be enough for the future generations.

He submitted that Sesa Goa Limited has also taken steps to

reclaim the land which was damaged through mining operation

and produced photographs to show how reclamation and

rehabilitation work has been done after mining was over in any

area.

55. Mr. N.S. Nadakarni, learned Advocate General for the State

of Goa, submitted that in the Goa Mineral Policy of 2013, State

Government has proposed a capping of the mineral ores to be

excavated annually in the State of Goa based on the carrying 70

capacity of public roads and the need to protect inter-generational

equity. He submitted that as per the Goa Mineral Policy of 2013,

until the road capacity in Goa improves, there should be a gross

capping at 45 MT per annum.

56. After considering the aforesaid submissions of learned

counsel for the parties, we took the view that a Committee of

Experts must conduct a macro EIA study and propose ceiling of

the annual excavation of iron ore from the State of Goa,

considering its iron ore resources and its carrying capacity and

keeping in mind the principles of sustainable development and

inter-generational equity and all other relevant factors.

Accordingly, by orders dated 11.11.2013 and 18.11.2013, we

constituted an Expert Committee comprising Professor C.R. Babu

(Ecologist), Dr. S.D. Dhiman (Geologist/Hydro-geologist),

Professor B.K. Mishra (Mineralogist), Professor S.

Parameshwarppa (Forestry), Shri Parimal Rai (Nominee of the

Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India). This

Expert Committee has submitted an interim report dated

14.03.2014. In this report, the Expert Committee has indicated

that the economy of Goa depends on tourism and iron ore mining,

besides agriculture, horticulture and minor industries, but in recent 71

years, while there has been increase in the growth rate in tourism

and mining, there has been a decline in the growth rate of

agriculture and fishing. The Expert Committee has in particular

highlighted the damage that has been done by increase in the

production of iron ore through mining to the environment in Goa in

the following words:

"The production of iron ore has jumped from 14.6 million tons in 1941 to 41.17 million tons in 2010-11. In 1980’s the production was about 10 MT/annum. The quantum jump in iron ore production in Goa was essentially due to steep rise in exports of fines and other low grade ore of 42% Fe content to China. This has led to massive negative impacts on all ecosystems leading to enhanced air, water, and soil pollution affecting quality of life across Goa. This is evident by three important reports i.e. (i) Area wide Environmental Quality Management (AEQM) Plan for the Mining belt of Goa by Tata Energy Research Institute, New Delhi and Goa (1997) and it was submitted to the Directorate of Planning, Statistics, and Evaluation, Government of Goa, (ii) Environmental and Social Performance Indicators and Sustainability Markers in Minerals Development Reporting progress towards improved Ecosystem Health and Human Well-being, Phase-III by TERI and International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada (2006) and (iii) the Regional Environmental Impact Study of iron ore mining in Goa region sponsored by MoEF, New Delhi (2014) by Indian School of Mines. Besides the above three main Reports, a number of scientific research papers on the impact of iron ore mining on the environment and 72

ecology of diverse ecosystems were published by scientists working at Goa university and NIO.

These reports and publications substantiates that the mining, particularly the enhanced level of annual production contributed to adverse impacts on the ecological systems, socio economics of Goa and health of people

of Goa leading to loss of ecological integrity. This is due to enhanced levels of pollutants, particularly RSPM and SPM, sedimentation of materials from dumps and iron ore in rivers, estuaries and shallow depth (20m) of sea water, agricultural fields, high concentration of Fe and Mn in surface waters and their bioaccumulation."

The Expert Committee has also studied the sustainability of iron

ore mining in the Goa and after analyzing the existing data from

TERI report, 1997, ISM, Dhanbad Report, 2013, Pollution Control

Board, Goa (Annual Report) and relevant literature relating to

sustainability and after adopting the Folchi method has given the

opinion that mining at the rate of 20 to 27.5 million tons per annum

appears sustainable in the State of Goa. However, in its summary

of recommendations, the Expert Committee has made these

recommendations:

"10. To eliminate the element of subjectivity, due to the time constraints and limitation of 73

available authentic time series data relating to mineral resources and environmental impact of mining in the State of Goa, this Committee suggests that mining be permitted to be carried out at the level of 20 million ton per annum with adequate monitoring of impacts on different ecological and environmental parameters, which will also help this Committee in its future appraisal.

11. Till the scientific study by this Committee is completed, which may take about 12 months more, the mining activity at levels as directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, be strictly monitored and regulated by the Department of Mines and Geology and Goa State Pollution Control Board of the State of Goa, in consultation with other statutory bodies such as Indian Bureau of Mines, Ministry of Environment and Forests (Govt. of India) and others."

It, thus, appears that the Expert Committee has suggested that for

the time being annual excavation of 20 million tons of iron ore may

be permitted in Goa with adequate monitoring impacts on different

ecological and environmental parameters, which will also help the

Expert Committee in its future appraisal. Regarding the authorities

or agencies which should strictly monitor and regulate the mining

activities in Goa, the Expert Committee has recommended that the

Department of Mines and Geology of Government of Goa and the

Goa State Pollution Control Board in consultation with other

statutory bodies such as Indian Bureau of Mines, Ministry of

Environment and Forests (Government of India) should carry on 74

such monitoring and regulation strictly. The Expert Committee,

however, has said nothing about how the mining dumps inside or

outside the leased areas noticed by the Justice Shah Commission

are to be dealt with presumably because in our order dated

11.11.2013 we had not issued any direction in this regard. We

think that we should seek the opinion of the Expert Committee in

this regard.

57. We find that the State Government has also engaged the

services of NEERI for macro level EIA study for Clusters of Iron

Ore Mines in the State of Goa, but NEERI in its preliminary report

has not recommended as to what should be the total quantum of

annual production of iron ore in Goa in future. We also find that

Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India had

entrusted the Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad to carry out

a regional environment impact assessment study of mining in Goa

region and ISM, Dhanbad has submitted its report proposing a cap

of 24.995 MT per annum on the basis of the carrying capacity of

the existing infrastructure of Goa. Relevant portion of the report of

ISM, Dhanbad, is extracted hereinbelow:

"20.7.4.7 Cluster Wise Capping on Transport

The cap of 24.995MTPA proposed in the aforementioned sectionis dependent primarily on the existing infrastructure and must be 75

followed based on the spatial variations. To present an overallcapacity of mining in North Goa and South Goa, the road capacityhas been taken as a parameter. The capacity was arrived at13.685MTPA for North Goa and 11.31MTPA for South Goa. Thecap proposed will not include the mines lying within the bufferzones as these have imposed restriction of phasing out in timebound period. Further, this cap can be represented into a cluster

wise scenario to decipher how much each cluster will be able totransport under the existing transport facilities. The values arepresented in table below.

Table 20.7.19: Cluster Wise Capping on Transport Based onExisting Transport Facilities

Cluster Routes Capacity of Capacity of the Routes the Cluster (MTPA) (MTPA)Adwalpal- Adwalpale to 0.81 5.875Bicholim Sirsai Jetty Shrigao to Sirsai 1.26 Jetty Shrigao to 1.16 Kalvin Jetty Dahbdhaba to 2.645 Sarmanas JettyVelguem- Sonshi to 2.11 7.9Pissurlem Amona Jetty Sanquelim to 0.52 Amona Jetty Honda to 1.32 Navelim(Maina) Sonshi to 1.32 Khazan Jetty Ambesi to 1.29 Cotambi Jetty Digneum to 1.34 Surla Jetty 76

Thus, the cumulative ore transportation capacity of the existing

road networks is 24.995MTPA."

We, therefore, find that the Expert Committee as well as ISM,

Dhanbad, after considering the available data and after

considering the adverse impact on environment and the limited

carrying capacity of the transport system in Goa, are of the opinion

that a cap between 20 to 27.5 million tons per annum should be

fixed for excavation of iron ore in the State of Goa. In its

recommendations, however, the Expert Committee has suggested

that till the scientific study by the Expert Committee is completed in

about 12 months or so, and more of data including impacts on

different ecological environmental parameters is available through 77

monitoring of the impacts by different agencies including the Goa

State Pollution Control Board, 20 million tons per annum should be

fixed as the annual excavation of iron ore in Goa.

58. Even this mining of 20 million tons per annum in the State of

Goa, according to the Expert Committee, has to be strictly

monitored and regulated by the Department of Mines and Geology,

Government of Goa and the Goa State Pollution Control Board in

consultation with other statutory bodies such as the Indian Bureau

of Mines, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (Government of

India) and others. It was the responsibility of the Government of

Goa, Department of Mines, to enforce the provisions of the MMDR

Act, the MC Rules and the MCD Rules, but as we have already

noticed, this responsibility was not properly discharged. We hope

that in future, it will enforce the provisions of the MMDR Act, the

MC Rules, the MCD Rules and the Goa (Prevention of Illegal

Mining, Storage and Transportation of Minerals) Rules, 2013.

59. The Goa State Pollution Control Board has immense powers

under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (for

short ‘the 1974 Act’) to prevent pollution of water. Section 33A of

the 1974 Act which confers on the State Pollution Control Board

the power to give directions is quoted hereinbelow: 78

"33A. Power to give directions.-- Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, but subject to the provisions of this Act, and to any directions that the Central Government may give in this behalf, a Board may, in the exercise of its powers and performance of its functions under this Act, issue any directions in writing to any person, officer or authority, and such person, officer or authority shall be bound to comply with such directions.

Explanation.--For the avoidance of doubts, it is hereby declared that the power to issue directions under this section includes the power to direct-- (a) the closure, prohibition or regulation of any industry, operation or process; or

(b) the stoppage or regulation of supply of electricity, water or any other service."

Similarly, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981(for

short ‘the 1981 Act’) confers immense powers on the State

Pollution Control Board to prevent air pollution. Section 31A of the

1981 Act which confers powers on the State Pollution Control

Board to give directions is quoted hereinbelow:

"31A. Power to give directions.-- Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, but subject to the provisions of this Act, and to any directions that the Central Government may give in this behalf, a Board may, in the exercise of its powers and performance of its functions under this Act, issue any directions in writing to any person, officer or authority, and such person, officer or authority shall be bound to comply with such 79

directions.

Explanation.--For the avoidance of doubts, it is hereby declared that the power to issue directions under this section includes the power to direct--

(a) the closure, prohibition or regulation of any industry, operation or process; or

(b) the stoppage or regulation of supply of electricity, water or any other service."

60. It will be clear from the aforesaid provisions of Section 33A of

the 1974 Act and Section 31A of the 1981 Act that the Goa State

Pollution Control Board had powers to issue any direction including

the power to close, prohibit or regulate mining operations or even

to stop or regulate supply of electricity, water or any other service

with a view to prevent water pollution or air pollution. Yet, from the

report of the Expert Committee as well as the reports of ISM,

Dhanbad and NEERI, it is clear that iron ore production in Goa has

led to massive negative impacts on all ecosystems leading to

enhanced air, water and soil pollution affecting quality of life across

Goa. The Goa State Pollution Control Board in its note filed in Writ

Petition (C) No.435 of 2012, however, states:

"Details of monitoring of water quality (with regards to mining leases) from 2007 to 2012 - The Board conducts inspections during the monsoon and other seasons also to verify the discharge of surface runoff/discharge from the 80

pit outside the mining lease and also collects samples for analyzing in the Board Laboratory. Wherever the parameters exceed the prescribed limits necessary directions are issued to the mining units to take remedial measures for controlling the waste water being discharged into the water bodies/fields without treatment. Directions are also issued to provide settling ponds, arrestor walls, filter beds so as to ensure that no untreated waste water is discharged into the water bodies/fields.

Details of monitoring of air quality (with regards to mining leases) from 2007 to 2012 - The Board is presently carrying out the periodic monitoring of Air Quality in pre-selected areas throughout the State to comply with one of the mandates of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under National Ambient Monitoring Programme (NAMP) at 16 stations."

We do not agree with Mr. Arvind Datar, learned senior counsel for

the Goa State Pollution Control Board, that sincere efforts were

made by the Pollution Control Board to monitor the water quality

and air quality in the mining areas. Rather, it appears that the Goa

State Pollution Control Board, though conferred with immense

statutory powers, has failed to discharge its statutory functions and

duties. We hope that in future the Goa State Pollution Control

Board exercises strict vigil and monitors the water quality and air

quality in accordance with the provisions of the two Acts and if

necessary, exercises the powers conferred on it to close down

mining operation of a lessee, if the lessee does not conform to the 81

air emission and water discharge standards while carrying on

mining operations and does not take other preventive measures as

directed by the State Pollution Control Board.

61. Regarding the regulation by the Ministry of Environment and

Forests, in our order dated 06.01.2014 passed in I.A. Nos.1868,

2091, 2225-2227, 2380, 2568 and 2937 in Writ Petition (Civil)

No.202 of 1995 (T.N. Godavarman Thirumulpad v. Union of India

& Ors.), we have already directed Union of India to appoint a

Regulator with offices in as many States as possible under sub-

section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986

as directed in the order in the case of Lafarge Umiam Mining

Private Limited. As and when the Union of India appoints a

Regulator under sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment

(Protection) Act, 1986 with an office for Goa in compliance with the

aforesaid direction of this Court, the Regulator so appointed will

carry out its functions in accordance with the order passed under

sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act,

1986.

62. Regulatory and monitoring measures enforced by the

Departments of Mines and Geology, the Goa State Pollution

Control Board and the Regulator appointed by the Central

Government under sub-section (3) of Section 3 of the Environment 82

(Protection) Act, 1986 cannot, however, restore entirely the

environment that is damaged in course of mining operations. The

Expert Committee has, therefore, recommended that a permanent

fund for inter-generational equity and sustainability of mining for all

times to come named as "Goan Iron Ore Permanent Fund" be

created and an expert group may be constituted by the State for

working out the details of this fund. Mr. Harish Salve, learned

Amicus Curiae, submitted that as the lessees of mining leases

earn out of the sale proceeds of the iron ore excavated by them,

they should be directed to contribute 10% of the sale proceeds of

all iron ore excavated in the State of Goa and sold by them

towards the Goan Iron Ore Permanent Fund. He cited the

judgment of this Court in Samaj Parivartana Samudaya and Ors. v.

State of Karnataka and Ors. (supra) in which this Court has

similarly directed for creation of a Special Purpose Vehicle out of

10% of the sale proceeds of the ore sold by e-auction. There is a

lot of force in the aforesaid submission of Mr. Salve.

63. We find from the report of the Expert Committee that the

State of Goa heavily depends on iron ore mining for revenue as

well as employment. The legislative policy behind the MMDR Act

made by Parliament is mineral development through mining. The

State Government of Goa has also adopted the executive policy to 83

encourage mining of minerals in Goa. Moreover, as Mr. Ravi

Shankar Prasad, learned senior counsel appearing for 33

Panchayats, has submitted about 1.5 lakh people are directly

employed in mining in Goa and large number of persons have

taken bank loans and purchased trucks for transportation of iron

ore. Hence, people who earn their livelihood through work in

connection with mining will be seriously affected if mining is totally

banned to protect the environment. We cannot, therefore, prohibit

mining altogether, but if mining has to continue, the lessees who

benefit the most from mining, must contribute from their sale

proceeds to the Goan Iron Ore Permanent Fund for sustainable

mining. Accordingly, in exercise of our powers under Article 32

read with Article 21 of the Constitution, we direct that henceforth

10% of the sale proceeds of iron ore excavated in the State of Goa

and sold by the lessees must be appropriated towards the Goan

Iron Ore Permanent Fund for the purpose of sustainable

development and inter-generational equity and the State of Goa in

consultation with the CEC will frame a comprehensive scheme in

this regard and submit the same to this Court within six months.

Whether in future the mining leases are to be auctioned orhave to be granted in accordance with the policy of the Stateand the provisions of the MMDR Act and the MC Rules?

64. Mr. Prashant Bhushan, learned counsel for Goa Foundation, 84

submitted that in Article 39(b) of the Constitution, it is provided that

the ownership and control of the material resources of the

community should be so distributed so as to best subserve the

common good and, therefore, the State cannot distribute the

material resource of the community in any way it likes. He

submitted that in Centre for Public Interest Litigation & Ors. v.

Union of India & Ors. [(2012) 3 SCC 1], a two-Judge Bench of this

Court has held relying on Article 39(b) of the Constitution that the

State is the legal owner of the natural resources as a trustee of the

people and although it is empowered to distribute the same, the

process of distribution must be guided by the constitutional

principles including the doctrine of equality and larger public good.

He submitted that in the aforesaid case, the two Judge Bench has

further held that a duly publicized auction conducted fairly and

impartially is perhaps the best method for discharging this burden

and methods like ‘first-come-first-served’ when used for alienation

of natural resources/public property are likely to be misused by

unscrupulous people who are only interested in garnering

maximum financial benefit and have no respect for the

constitutional ethos and values. He relied on the conclusion of the

two Judge Bench of this Court in the aforesaid case that while

transferring or alienating the natural resources, the State is duty- 85

bound to adopt the method of auction by giving wide publicity so

that all eligible persons can participate in the process. He

submitted that as MMDR Act does not prohibit the State from

holding auction of the mining leases, this Court should direct that

in future the mining leases must be auctioned by the State

Government.

65. Learned counsel for the lessees and the learned Advocate

General, on the other hand, submitted that the MMDR Act and the

MC Rules have made specific provisions regarding the manner in

which the State is to grant mining leases and it is for the State to

take decisions on grant of mining leases in accordance with the

policy and the provisions of the MMDR Act and the MC Rules.

They cited the opinion of the Constitution Bench of this Court in

Natural Resources Allocation, In Re, Special Reference No.1 of

2012 [(2012) 10 SCC 1] that auction despite being a more

preferable method of alienation/allotment of natural resources,

cannot be held to be a constitutional requirement or limitation for

alienation of all natural resources and, therefore, every method

other than auction cannot be struck down as ultra vires the

constitutional mandate.

66. We are of the considered opinion that it is for the State 86

Government to decide as a matter of policy in what manner the

leases of these mineral resources would be granted, but this

decision has to be taken in accordance with the provisions of the

MMDR Act and the Rules made thereunder and in consonance

with the constitutional provisions and the decision taken by the

State of Goa to grant a mining lease in a particular manner or to a

particular party can be examined by way of judicial review by the

Court. To quote the opinion of four Judges out of five Judges

expressed by D.K. Jain J. in Natural Resources Allocation, In Re,

Special Reference No.1 of 2012 (supra):

"Alienation of natural resources is a policy decision, and the means adopted for the same are thus, executive prerogatives. However, when such a policy decision is not backed by a social or welfare purpose, and precious and scarce natural resources are alienated for commercial pursuits of profit maximising private entrepreneurs, adoption of means other than those that are competitive and maximise revenue may be arbitrary and face the wrath of Article 14 of the Constitution. Hence, rather than prescribing or proscribing a method, we believe, a judicial scrutiny of methods of disposal of natural resources should depend on the facts and circumstances of each case, in consonance with the principles which we have culled out above. Failing which, the Court, in exercise of power of judicial review, shall term the executive action as arbitrary, unfair, unreasonable and capricious due to its antimony with Article 14 of the Constitution." 87

Whether suspension of mining operations in the State of Goaby order dated 10.09.2012 of the Government of Goa and the

suspension of the Environmental Clearances granted to themines in the State of Goa by order dated 14.09.2012 were legaland valid?

67. As we have held that the deemed mining leases of the

lessees in Goa expired on 22.11.1987 and the maximum period

(20 years) of renewal of the deemed mining leases in Goa has

also expired on 22.11.2007, mining by the lessees in Goa after

22.11.2007 was illegal. Hence, the order dated 10.09.2012 of the

Government of Goa suspending mining operations in the State of

Goa and the order dated 14.09.2012 of the MoEF, Government of

India, suspending the environmental clearances granted to the

mines in the State of Goa, which have been impugned in the writ

petitions in the Bombay High Court, Goa Bench (transferred to this

Court and registered as transferred cases) cannot be quashed by

this Court. The order dated 10.09.2012 of the Government of Goa

and the order dated 14.09.2012 of the MoEF will have to continue

till decisions are taken by the State Government to grant fresh

leases and decisions are taken by the MoEF to grant fresh

environmental clearances for mining projects.

68. On 05.10.2012, this Court while issuing notice in Writ Petition 88

(C) No.435 of 2012 (Goa Foundation vs. Union of India & Others)

also passed orders that all mining operations in the leases

identified in the report of the Justice Shah Commission and

transportation of iron ore and manganese ore from those leases,

whether lying at the mine-head or stockyards, shall remain

suspended. Thereafter on 11.11.2013, this Court passed an order

that the inventory of the excavated mineral ores lying in different

mines/stockyards/jetties/ports in the State of Goa made by the

Department of Mines and Geology of the Government of Goa be

verified and thereafter the whole of the inventorised mineral ores

be sold by e-auction and the sale proceeds (less taxes and royalty)

be retained in separate fixed deposits (lease-wise) by the State of

Goa till this Court delivers judgment in these matters on the legality

of the leases from which the mineral ores were extracted. In our

order passed on 11.11.2013, we had also directed that this entire

process of verification of the inventory, e-auction and deposit of

sale proceeds be monitored by a Monitoring Committee appointed

by the Court. The Monitoring Committee comprising Dr. U.V.

Singh (Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests,

Karnataka), Shri Shaikh Naimuddin (former Member of Central

Board of Direct Taxes) and Parimal Rai (Nominee of Govt. of Goa)

have in the meanwhile monitored the e-auction. We extract 89

hereinbelow the relevant portion of the interim report dated

12.03.2014 of the Monitoring Committee:

"After the two e-auctions, the total ore auctioned is about 1.62 million MT and the total value realized is 260.68 crores approximately. As directed by this Hon’ble Court, the State Government has been requested to maintain separate accounts, lease wise, and keep the sale proceeds as fixed deposits in Nationalized Banks.

The process of transportation of ore for export has not yet been initiated because of the storage charges being demanded from the successful bidder by the Marmagoa Port Trust (MPT). As a result, the process of e-auction is likely to slow down. The extent of storage charges demanded is as per Annexure MC III."

69. As we have held that renewal of all the deemed mining

leases in the State of Goa had expired on 22.11.2007, the mining

lessees will not be entitled to the sale value of the ores sold in e-

auction but they will be entitled to the approximate cost (not actual

cost) of the extraction of the ores. On account of suspension of

mining operations in the State of Goa, the workers who were

employed by the lessees claim that they have not been paid their

wages. Under Section 25C of the Industrial Disputes, Act, 1947,

when a workman whose name is borne on the muster rolls of an

industrial establishment and who has completed not less than one 90

year of continuous service under an employer is laid-off, he is

entitled to be paid by the employer for all the days which he is so

laid-off, except for such weekly holidays as may intervene,

compensation which shall be equal to 50% of the total of the basic

wages and dearness allowance that would have been payable to

him had he not been so laid-off. Following this principle of lay-off

compensation, we hold that workers who could not be paid wages

by the lessees will have to be paid compensation at the rate of

50% of their basic wages and dearness allowance during the

period of non-employment on account of suspension of mining

operations. Moreover, Marmagoa Port Trust will have to be paid

50% of their charges for storage of the mineral ores after

05.10.2012.

70. The entire sale value of the stock of mineral ores sold by e-

auction less the average cost of excavation, 50% of the wages and

allowances and 50% of the storage charges to be paid to MPT is

thus due to State Government which is the owner of the mineral

ores which have been sold by e-auction. The State Government

will set-aside 10% of this balance amount for the Goan Iron Ore

Permanent Fund for the purpose of sustainable development and

inter-generational equity. This entire exercise of calculating the

average cost of extraction of ores to be paid to the mining lessees, 91

50% of the basic wages and dearness allowance to be paid to the

workers, 10% of the balance amount towards the Goan Iron Ore

Permanent Fund and the balance amount to be appropriated by

the State Government will be done by the Director of Mines and

Geology, Government of Goa, under the supervision of the

Monitoring Committee. Till this exercise is over and the report of

the Monitoring Committee is filed, the Monitoring Committee will

continue and their members will be paid their remuneration

allowances as directed in the order dated 11.11.2013.

71. In the result, we declare that:

(i) the deemed mining leases of the lessees in Goa expired on 22.11.1987 and the maximum of 20 years renewal period

of the deemed mining leases in Goa expired on 22.11.2007 and consequently mining by the lessees after 22.11.2007 was illegal and hence the impugned order dated 10.09.2012 of Government of Goa and the impugned order dated 14.09.2012 of the MoEF, Government of India are not liable to be quashed;

(ii) dumping of minerals outside the leased area of the mining lessees is not permissible under the MMDR Act and the Rules made thereunder;

(iii) until the order dated 04.08.2006 of this Court is modified by this Court in I.A. No.1000 in T.N. Godavarman 92

Thirumulpad v. Union of India & Ors., there can be no mining activities within one kilometer from the boundaries of National Parks and Sanctuaries in Goa;

(iv) by the order dated 04.12.2006 in Writ Petition (C) No.460 of 2004 (Goa Foundation v. Union of India), this Court has not prohibited mining activities within 10 kilometers distance from the boundaries of the National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries;

(v) it is for the State Government to decide as a matter of policy in what manner mining leases are to be granted in future but the constitutionality or legality of the decision of the State Government can be examined by the Court in exercise of its power of judicial review.

And we direct that:

(i) MoEF will issue the notification of eco-sensitive zones around the National Park and Wildlife Sanctuaries of Goa after following the procedure discussed in this judgment within a period of six months from today;

(ii) the State Government will initiate action against those mining lessees who violate Rules 37 and 38 of the MC Rules;

(iii) the State Government will strictly enforce the Goa (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Storage and Transportation of Minerals) Rules, 2013;

(iv) the State Government may grant mining leases of iron ore and other ores in Goa in accordance with its policy decision and in accordance with MMDR Act and the Rules 93

made thereunder in consonance with the constitutionalprovisions;

(v) until the final report is submitted by the ExpertCommittee, the State Government will, in the interests ofsustainable development and intergenerational equity, permita maximum annual excavation of 20 million MT from themining leases in the State of Goa other than from dumps;

(vi) the Goa Pollution Control Board will strictly monitor theair and water pollution in the mining areas and exercisepowers available to it under the 1974 Act and 1981 Actincluding the powers under Section 33A of the 1974 Act andSection 31A of the 1981 Act and furnish all relevant data tothe Expert Committee;

(vii) the entire sale value of the e-auction of the inventorisedores will be forthwith realised and out of the total sale value,the Director of Mines and Geology, Government of Goa,under the supervision of the Monitoring Committee will makethe following payments:

(a) Average cost of excavation of iron ores to the mining lessees;

(b) 50% of the wages and dearness allowance to the workers in the muster rolls of the mining leases who have not been paid their wages during the period of suspension of mining operations;

DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT

4

CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION

According to Para 7(iii) Parishist 10 of Notification dated 15 january 2016 of Environment, Forest and

Climate Change Ministry Government of India. Mineral wise District Survey report will be prepared

in every district for Sand mining or River bed mining and other minerals mining. The main purpose to

prepare the district survey report is to identify the land increase or deposional areas and its

infrastructure, Structure and installation distance from where the mining is prohibited and re

calculation of annual replenishment and time required for replenishment after mining. The district

survey report will be based on the application for evaluation of project.

This report is prepared for mineral of District Satna. District Satna comes under Administration

divisions of Rewa (M. P.). The district is bounded by Chitrakoot & Banda district (U.P.) in north,

Panna in west, Umaria, Shahdol & Katni in south and Rewa in east. The Satna District is located in the

Northern part of Madhya Pradesh State and is covered in Survey of India Degree Sheet Nos., 63A,

63C, 63D, & 63H between Latitude 23°58’-25°12’ and Longitude 80°21’ - 81°23”. District Satna

covers an area of 7502 square kilometers.

Satna is the district headquarter and Maihar, Unchehara, Nagod, Kotar, Majhgawan, Birsinghpur,

Raghurajnagar, Amarpatan, Ramnagar, Rampur Baghelan are some of the Tehsil Place. The Katni-

Manikpur section of the west central railway through the district. All important places within the

district are well connected by a network of state highways and all weather roads, The Son, Tons,

Satna, Paisuni river and its tributaries drain whole area of the district.

6

Tons, Son, and Paisuni are the important rivers of the district draining it into the Bay of the Bengal

through the Ganga. The and the Panna hills act as water-divides. Most of the rivers flow towards the

east, with an inclination towards the north. The Simrawal and the Satna rivers are, however, inclined

towards the south.

Tons (or Tamasa) is the main river of the district, It rises in the hill in the Maihar tehsil, its nominal

source, called Tamasa Kund being a tank on the Kymore hills, 2,000 feet above the sea-level. From the

point is follows a general north-easterly course, traversing the rough hilly country around Maihar,

flowing through the level fertile country of the Amarpatan and Raghuraj Nagar tehsil, and then enters

the Rewa district. Satna an important affuent of the Tons, rises in the Panna hills, flows through the

northern, narrower portion of the Nagod tehsil almost in a due west-east direction and bends towards the

south from the point where it is joined by Aman river. Thereafter it makes the boundary of the Nagod

and Raghuraj Nagar tehsils till it meets the Tons a few miles to the south-east of Satna town. Simrawal,

another impurtant affluent of the Tons, flows south of Kothi in Raghuraj Nagar tehsil.

The Son, the great river to the south of the hills does not actually enter the district but makes the

southern boundary of Amarpatan tehsil with Beohari tehsil of shahdol district. It is joined by the

Mahanadi river, which flows along the boundary of Maihar and Beohari tehsils just at the point where

the Son takes a turn towards the east between villages Sakwari and Bamaraha.

Physical Features:-

Satna district lies on Vindhyan Plateau, which has an average altitude of 1000' to 11000'. The southern

portion of Nagod Tehsil below 24"30' north latitude is a hilly country consisting of a tangled mass of

low hills, and enclosing considerable stretches of level ground. The height of the plateau enclosed by

these hills is from 1700' to 1800' generally but occasionally, some of the hills in the south of the tahsil

rise to more than 800 feet in height above the plateau. The general slope of the country of the tehsil is

towards the east, inclined towards the north in the centre of the tehsil.

Satna, the important river of the tehsil rises from the Panna hills and flows east as long as it is in Nagod

tehsil. Near village Kathkone in Nagod Tehsil it is joined by the Amran river, and from this point of

7

junction, it bends towards the south, making the boundary of Nagod and Raghuraj Nagar tehsils, till it

meets the Tons river a few miles to the south-east of Satna town. Barua is another river of some

importance in the tehsil, which rises from the hills in the south of the tehsil and flowing almost due west

joins the Tons a few miles below village Karaia, at the border of Maihar and Nagod tehsils.

Amarpatan Tehsil is bounded on the south by the Son river. The Kaimur ridge, with its scarp side to the

south, rises suddenly like a wall about eight miles to the north of Son river, going towards the east, with

slight northerly inclination, almost parallel to the Son river. North of Ram Nagar, an isolated small hill

rises to 2,354'. Rest of Amarpatan tehsil is again an alluvial plain draned by the Behar river, which

flows more or less parallel to the Mirzapur road, in a north-easternly direction.

The south western Maihar tehsil consists mainly of sandstones of Bhander series, concealed in great part

by alluvium. Beyond 80"44' east longitude the Kaumur ridge runs through the heart of the broader

eastern portion of the tehsil dividing the basin of the

Mahanadi from that of the Tons. The river Tons, which drains the tehsil runs between the railway line

and the Kaumur and is joined by numerous small nullahs which run along the northern slopes of the

Kaimur. The south eastern extremity of Maihar tehsil is bound by river Mahanadi, which marches with

the boundary of Maihar tehsil first with Murwara tehsil of Katni district and then with Beohari tehsil of

Shahdol district.

Raghuraj Nagar tehsil consists in the south of an alluvial plain watered by the Tons and its tributaries

the Satna, and the Simrawal from the north-west and the Magardha and Nar from the south. The Panna

hills cross the narrowest portion of the tehsil in a west-east direction slightly inclined to the north and

separate the valley of the Paisuni, in part ravinous, from the plateau to the south. Further north is

Vindhyachal range running from west to east, almost parallet to the Panna hills, through the former

sanad states of Baraundha, Patharkachhar and the Chaube jagirs.

Mountains And Hills:-

Tha Kaimurs, the Panna hills, and the Vindhyachal ranges, all belonging to the Vindhya system togeter

with their spurs constitute the principal hills of the district. The Ky range enters Maihar tahsil of the

district at village Jhukehi on the border of Murwara tehsil, and runs through the entire length of Maihar

8

and Amarpatan tahsil in an easterly direction slightly inclined to the north. At Jhukehi, the strike of the

Kaumurs is displaced, producing the only gap in the whole length of the Vindhyas. Advantage of the

gap is taken in the construction of the Mirzapur road and the Jabalpur-Allahabad section of Bombay -

Calcutta railway line. The Panna hills enter northern portion of the district from Panna district and

traverse the Raghuraj Nagar tehsil in a west-east direction and enter the Sirmour tehsil of Rewa district.

The Vindhyachal range is in the extreme north of the district cutting across in a west-east direction

slightly inclinedc to the north.

PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVER OF THE DISTRICT

DRAINAGE:

Tons, Son, Satna and Paisuni are the impurtant rivers of the district draining it into the Bay of the

Bengal through the Ganga. The and the Panna hills act as water-divides. Most of the rivers flow

towards the east, with an inclination towards the north. The Simrawal and the Satna rivers are, however,

inclined towards the south.

River Tons (or Tamasa):

Tons (or Tamasa) is the main river of the district, It rises in the Kaumur hill in the Maihar tehsil, its

nominal source, called Tamasa Kund being a tank on the Kaumur hills, 2,000 feet above the sea-level.

From the point is follows a general north-easterly course, traversing the rough hilly country around

Maihar, flowing through the level fertile country of the Amarpatan and Raghuraj Nagar tehsil, and then

enters the Rewa district. Satna an important affuent of the Tons, rises in the Panna hills, flows through

the northern, narrower portion of the Nagod tehsil almost in a due west-east direction and bends towards

the south from the point where it is joined by Aman river. Thereafter it makes the boundary of the

Nagod and Raghuraj Nagar tehsils till it meets the Tons a few miles to the south-east of Satna town.

Simrawal, another impurtant affluent of the Tons, flows south of Kothi in Raghuraj Nagar tehsil.

49

River Son: The Son originates near Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh, just east of the headwater of

the Narmada River, and flows north-northwest through Madhya Pradesh state before turning sharply

eastward where it encounters the southwest-northeast-running Kaimur Range. The Son parallels the

Kaimur hills, flowing east-northeast throughUttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar states to join the

Ganges just above Patna. Geologically, the lower valley of the Son is an extension of the Narmada

Valley, and the Kaimur Range an extension of the Vindhya Range. Dehri on sone and Sonbhadra are the

major cities situated on Son River.

The Son river at 784 kilometres (487 mi) long, is one of the largest rivers of India.[2] Its chief

tributaries are the Rihand and the North Koel. The Son has a steep gradient(35–55 cm per km) with

quick run-off and ephemeral regimes, becoming a roaring river with the rain-waters in

the catchment area but turning quickly into a fordable stream. The Son, being wide and shallow, leaves

disconnected pools of water in the remaining part of the year. The channel of the Son is very wide

(about 5 km at Dehri on sone) but the floodplain is narrow, only 3 to 5 kilometres (2 to 3 mi) wide. In

the past, the Son has been notorious for changing course, as it is traceable from several old beds near its

east bank. In modern times this tendency has been checked with the anicut at Dehri, and now more so

with the Indrapuri Barrage.



Mahanadi river, which flows along the boundary of Maihar and Beohari tehsils just at the point where


River Satna: Satna river is suppose to have originated from a place where the Hermit Suteekshna of

Ramayan fame once aived. The place is now included in Panna district. The river has given its name to

the district headquarter town and later to the District. The River Satna rises from the hill (474.27m.)

between Rampura & Bikrampur. In Panna the stream flows South-east up to Devendranagar. Iit than

touches Satna boundary and inters the district at Satna. After an easterly course of 18 km. In the district

it meets the Amran River.

River Paisumi: The Paisumi is a sacred river mentioned time and again in the Ramayana. The

Mandakini of Ramayana is generally identified either with this river or with one of its feeders, on which

Kamata-Rajauli village is situated. The nearby Kamadgiri hill is identified as the Chitrakoot Giri of

Ramayan where Ram stayed for sometime during his Vanvasa, i.e. exile in to forests.

The river rises at the 240 53’ north 80

0 41’ east, below Dagri hill (484m.). The river below Nayagaon. It

also forms the north-eastern boundary for some distance. The total length of the river in the district is

about 44 km.

CHAPTER – 7

GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT

Satna District (Cement City), was formed in 1948, is a district of Madhya Pradesh state in central India.

The town of Satnais the district headquarters. The district has an area of 7,502 km², and a population of

1,868,648 (2001 census), 20.63% of which was urban. The district has a population density of 249

persons per km².

History

Satna district is part of the Baghelkhand region, a very large portion of which was ruled by the Rewa. A

small portion of the western region was ruled by feudatory chiefs under the British. There were eleven

such states, namely Maihar, Nagod State,Sohawal, Kothi, Jaso, Baraundha and the five Chaube

Jagirs of Chanpurwa, Pahra, Taraon, Bhaisunda and Kamta-Rajaula.

The early Buddhist books, the Mahabharata etc. link the Baghelkhand tract with rulers of the Haihaya,

Kalchuri or Chedi clan, who gained sufficient importance in the 3rd century CE. They had their capital

at Mahishmati (identified by some with Maheshwar in Khargone District), from where they seem to

have been driven eastwards. They had acquired the fort of Kalinjara (a few miles beyond the border of

the district, in Uttar Pradesh), and with that as base, they extended their dominious over Baghelkhand.

During the 4th and 5th centuries, the Gupta dynasty held sway over the area. The feudatory chiefs of

Uchchakalpa (Unchehra in Nagod tehsil) and the Parivrajak Rajas of Kot (in Nagod tehsil) held their

own. The chief stronghold of the Chedi clan was Kalinjar, and their proudest title was

Kalanjaradhishwara (Lord of Kalanjar). The Kalchuris received their first blow at the hand of Chandel

chief Yashovarmma (925-55), who seized the fort of Kalinjar and the tract surrounding it. The Kalchuris

were still a powerful tribe and continued to hold most of their possessions until the 12th century.

The chiefs of Rewas were Baghel Rajputs descended from the Solanki clan. Vyaghra Deo, brother of

the ruler of Gujarat, made his way into northern India about the middle of the 13th century and obtained

the fort of Marpha, 18 miles north-east of Kalinjar. His son Karandeo married a Kalchuri (Haihaya)

princess of Mandla and received in dowry the fort of Bandhogarh (now in the tehsil of the same name

in Shahdol district), which, until its destruction in 1597 by Akbar was the Baghel capital.

In 1298, when Ulugh Khan drove the last Baghel ruler of Gujarat from his kingdom. It caused a

considerable migration of the Baghels to Bandhogarh. Until the 15th century the Baghels of

Bandhogarh were engaged in extending their possessions and escaped the attention of the Delhi kings.

In 1498-9, Sikandar Lodi failed in his attempt to take the fort of Bandhogarh. The Baghel king

Ramchandra (1555–92), was a contemporary of Akbar. After the death of Birdhabra, Ramchandra's son,

a minor named Vikramaditya acceded to the throne of Bandhogarh. His accession gave rise to

disturbances. Akbar intervened and captured and dismantled the Bandhogarh fort in 1597 after a seize

of eight months. It is after this that the town of Rewa started gaining in importance.

In 1803, after the treaty of Bassein, the British made overtures of alliance to the ruler of Rewa, but the

latter rejected them. In 1812, during the time of Raja Jaisingh (1809–35), a body of Pindaris raided

Mirzapur from Rewa territory. Upon this Jaisingh was called upon to accede to a treaty, in which he

acknowledged the protection of the British Government, and agreed to refer all disputes with

neighbouring chiefs to their arbitration and to allow British troops to march through or be cantoned in

his territories. At the mutiny of 1857, Maharaja Raghuraj Singh helped the British in quelling the

uprisings in the neighbouring Mandla and Jabalpur district, and in Nagod which is now a part of Satna

district. For this, the king was rewarded by restoration to him of the Sohagpur (Shahdol) and

Amarkantak parganas, which had been seized by the Marathas in the beginning of the century. The

rulers of Rewa State bore the title of 'His Highness' and "Maharaja" and received a salute of 17 guns.

Economy

In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Satna one of the country's 250 most backward

districts (out of a total of 640).[3] It is one of the 24 districts in Madhya Pradesh currently receiving

funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).

Agriculture

District is very backward in the field of agriculture. Peoples of the district prefer the cultivation in the

old traditional method. The size of the fields are very small and mainly are marginal farmers. The early

Industries in Satna District:

Today Satna city is one of the fastest emerging and growing cities of Madhya Pradesh state. This is

obviously owing to its robust and resilient economy. At the heart of its resilient economy is

obviously some of the high generating sectors and industries. Which are these sectors and industries,

which sectors contribute more to the economy and which sectors are losing its sheen and competitive

edge? Answer to all these pertinent questions and more valuable information about Satna’s economy

has been provided to you in below paragraphs. Cement Factory Agriculture in Satna The importance

and contribution of agricultural sector has certainly been a dominant factor in making Satna an

economically viable state over past few decades. Though industrial economy contributes to a large

extent still agrarian economy is the important pillars of Satna economy and will continue to hold

pretty strong influence over its economy even in coming years. Wheat, peanuts are major crops

grown in the area. Industrial Sector in Satna Today Satna city owes much of its economic success

and rising economic profile to its robust industrial sector. And at the heart of its robust and

belligerent economy lies huge number of cement factories and plants spread across in and around

Satna city. These cement factories and plants are obviously capitalizing on huge reservoir of

limestone mineral that is found in Satna District, which actually has helped in making Satna city the

official cement capital of India. Various industries have attributed to growing urbanization and

industrialization of the local economy.

While these and many other large scale units have certainly helped industrial sector in laying a strong

foundation, but even today Satna’s industrial sector mostly compromises of small and medium scale industries.

62

Most of these small and medium scale industries are operating in various industrial areas operating in adjoining

towns and villages of Satna city. If we go deep into numbers, then most of these industries compromises of Agro

based units, Readymade garments & embroidery, Leather based units, minerals based units and repairing and

servicing units. As for names of prominent industrial areas are concerned, then they are as follows: Satna

industrial area, Itmakothar industrial area, Ghoordang industrial area, Maihar industrial area and Karmshala

unchehara shed. Service Sector in Satna If we go by the trends and statistics exhibited by all successful

economies across the world, then it is pretty clear that growth and boom in industrial sector has a positive

impact on service sector too. This is equally true about Satna’s economy as well, where over last few decades

service sector’s growth has been largely fuelled by success of industrial sector. As a result today Satna boosts a

very robust banking sector, resilient healthcare and hospitality industry and even small BPO industry. Service

sector’s overall contribution to Satna’s local economy is today pretty significant. This said, Satna service sector is

still in its infancy stage if we compare it with service sectors of prominent cities like Bhopal, Indore and Jabalpur.

Nonetheless, there exists today a very strong foundation for service sector, which can witness stupendous

growth in near future, provided if correct economic policies and steady investments are made. The overall

picture that we get is that today Satna city’s economy is not only heading towards right direction, but is poised

for impressive economic growth in coming years. Well, it at least does have strong foundation that can propel

its economy to much, much higher level. All it needs is special attention of important administrative bodies and

more importantly business & industrial friendly policies.

Forest Area:

While Satna huge limestone reservoirs is well known to the entire world, but its huge forest areas are

not. Well, at least they have not been as commercially exploited a minerals have been. Talking

specifically about numbers and forest areas, then out of total 7424 Sq. Km of Satna District’s land area,

forest area constitutes roughly 2037 Sq. Km. This is roughly 30% of the total land area, which is

comparatively higher than other districts. Most of these forest areas are, however, located in the

interiors of Satna District and not near Satna city. Huge forest wealth is already helping in production of

woods, fire woods and even valuable Medicinal Plants, though their production as of today is at much

smaller scale. But given the vast forest areas in Satna, production can easily increase into manifold and

subsequently help in revenue generation for the district.

65

Flora:

Forest in the district are included in the Rewa forest division with headquarters at Rewa. Forests, which

are mostly mixed forests cover an area of 900 square miles in the district, extending over four ranges

with headquarters at Satna, Majhgawan (both in Raghuraj Nagar tehsil) Nagod and Maihar. The breakup

Jaitwar are the other important towns. The district is well connected by roads With the State capital

Bhopal and the adjacent district headquarters. Kanyakumari-Varanasi National highway No. 7 passes

through southern part of the district. Jabalpur-Allahabad broad gauge line of Central Railway passes

through the central part of the district

Physiographically. Satna district forms a part of Vindhyan range The back slope of Vindhyanchal leads

to a broad plain With low ridges and valleys and rises gently to the Bhander plateau in the south. The

Bhander plateau comprises isolated mesas and buttes and is succeeded further south by Kaimur ridge

reaching maximum elevation of 704m. The Kaimur ridge is the watershed between the Son and

Narmada basins. The district is mainly drained by Son and Tons or Tamasa rivers and their tributaries.

The rocks, in the district range in age from Archneiin to Cainozoic. The Archaean rock comprises of

granite and gneisses and is exposed only in the northern part of the district. The Rocks of Vindhyan

Supergroup comprises Semri, Kaimur, Rewa and Bhander Groups. The Semri Group of rocks are

repesented by an alternating sequence of sandstone and shale alongwtth porcellanite and limestone. The

Semri Group of rocks are mainly exposed in the southern and northern part of the district. The Rohtas

limestone is light to dark grey in colour, fine grained, compact and well bedded. The Kaimur group

comprising mainly sandstone which is fine granned, massive and thickly bedded is exposed in the

northern and southern part. The Rewa Group of rocks comprises mainly of sandstone, shale and

conglomerate. The Bhander Group of rocks exposed as a broad band and comprises mainly shale.

Nagod limestone, and Upper Bhander Sandstone the Nagod limestone is Fine grained, hard, Compact

thinly bedded to massive With some stromatolitic bands. The Upper Bhander Sandstone forms the cliff

of the Bhander plateau is composed of purple to reddish brown fine to medium grained, flaggy to

massive and well sorted sandstone interbedded with splintery shale and siltstone. Lameta Formation

hillocks of Upper Rewa sandstone Laterite occur as capping on the Bhander group of rocks and on the

Upper Rewa sandstone. It has a minimum thickness of 60m.

The district has a large potential of limestone, bauxite, ochre and building and construction material.

Limestone bands occur in Rohtas and Nagod limestone. The Nagod limestone is extensively quarried

for the manufacturing of lime and cement and also for use as flux in the steel industry. A preliminary

assessment indicates a possible reserve of 1865 million tonnes of cement and flux grade limestone.

Bauxite occurs on the Upper Bhander and Upper Rewa sandstone. A preliminary assessment indicates a

possible reserve of 65,000 tonns of Bauxite of grade-l quality. Red and yellow ochre occur as

discontinuous l-2m thick lensoid bodies underneath the laterite. These deposits are located on the hills

near Satalya, Karigohi, Silhe and Kararia. The total possible reserves of red and yellow ochers are

computed as 100,000 tonnes. The ochre contain a high has of Fe2O3 which is suitable for use it colour

Compact thinly bedded to massive With some stromatolitic bands. The Upper Bhander Sandstone forms the cliff

of the Bhander plateau is composed of purple to reddish brown fine to medium grained, flaggy to massive and

well sorted sandstone interbedded with splintery shale and siltstone. Lameta Formation comprising sandstone

72

and shale range in thickness from 15-80m and occurs forms as clusters on the hillocks of Upper Rewa sandstone

Laterite occur as capping on the Bhander group of rocks and on the Upper Rewa sandstone. It has a minimum

thickness of 60m.

The district has a large potential of limestone, bauxite, ochre and building and construction material. Limestone

bands occur in Rohtas and Nagod limestone. The Nagod limestone is extensively quarried for the manufacturing

of lime and cement and also for use as flux in the steel industry. A preliminary assessment indicates a possible

reserve of 1865 million tonnes of cement and flux grade limestone. Bauxite occurs on the Upper Bhander and

Upper Rewa sandstone. A preliminary assessment indicates a possible reserve of 65,000 tonns of Bauxite of

grade-l quality. Red and yellow ochre occur as discontinuous l-2m thick lensoid bodies underneath the laterite.

These deposits are located on the hills near Satalya, Karigohi, Silhe and Kararia. The total possible reserves of

red and yellow ochers are computed as 100,000 tonnes. The ochre contain a high has of Fe2O3 which is suitable

for use it colour and paint industry Kaimur. Upper Rewa and Bhander sandstones yield good quality dimension

stones.

The limestone reserve is so huge in Satna that it contributes nearly 10% to India’s annual cement

production. Therefore it is not at all surprising that today Satna city and its adjoining towns are home to

some of the biggest cement factories and plants in India. Besides limestone, Satna region as a whole is

home to many other major and miner minerals. These are namely Ocher, Bauxite, White clay, Laterite,

Sandstone, Murrum, Floor Stone, and Ordinary Stone.

The District Satna has a large extend of Bhander/ Nagod Limestone, Ganurgarh shale, Jhiri Shale,

Upper Rewa Sandstone, Lower Rewa Sandstone, Quartzite & Sandstone. All the rock type is very fine

grained which is not suitable to make river sand during erosion and transportation process. The

materials deposited in the catchment area are silt or mud.

River Tons (or Tamasa):

Tons (or Tamasa) is the main river of the district, It rises in the Kaumur hill in the Maihar tehsil, its

nominal source, called Tamasa Kund being a tank on the Kaimur hills, 2,000 feet above the sea-level.

From the point is follows a general north-easterly course, traversing the rough hilly country around

73

Maihar, flowing through the level fertile country of the Amarpatan and Raghuraj Nagar tehsil, and then

enters the Rewa district. Satna an important affuent of the Tons, rises in the Panna hills, flows through

the northern, narrower portion of the Nagod tehsil almost in a due west-east direction and bends towards

the south from the point where it is joined by Aman river. Thereafter it makes the boundary of the

Nagod and Raghuraj Nagar tehsils till it meets the Tons a few miles to the south-east of Satna town.

Simrawal, another impurtant affluent of the Tons, flows south of Kothi in Raghuraj Nagar tehsil.

River Son: The Son originates near Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh, just east of the headwater of

the Narmada River, and flows north-northwest through Madhya Pradesh state before turning sharply

eastward where it encounters the southwest-northeast-running Kaimur Range. The Son parallels the

Kaimur hills, flowing east-northeast throughUttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar states to join the

Ganges just above Patna. Geologically, the lower valley of the Son is an extension of the Narmada

Valley, and the Kaimur Range an extension of the Vindhya Range. Dehri on sone and Sonbhadra are the

major cities situated on Son River.

The Son River at 784 kilometres (487 mi) long is one of the largest rivers of India. Its chief tributaries

are the Rihand and the North Koel. The Son has a steep gradient (35–55 cm per km) with quick run-

off and ephemeral regimes, becoming a roaring river with the rain-waters in the catchment area but

turning quickly into a fordable stream. The Son, being wide and shallow, leaves disconnected pools of

water in the remaining part of the year. The channel of the Son is very wide (about 5 km at Dehri on

sone) but the floodplain is narrow, only 3 to 5 kilometres (2 to 3 mi) wide. In the past, the Son has been

notorious for changing course, as it is traceable from several old beds near its east bank. In modern

times this tendency has been checked with the anicut at Dehri, and now more so with the Indrapuri

Barrage.

River Satna: Satna River is supposed to have originated from a place where the Hermit Suteekshna of

Ramayan fame once aived. The place is now included in Panna district. The river has given its name to

the district headquarter town and later to the District. The River Satna rises from the hill (474.27m.)

between Rampura & Bikrampur. In Panna the stream flows South-east up to Devendranagar. Iit than

touches Satna boundary and inters the district at Satna. After an easterly course of 18 km. In the district

it meets the Amran River.

River Paisumi: The Paisumi is a sacred river mentioned time and again in the Ramayana. The

Mandakini of Ramayana is generally identified either with this river or with one of its feeders, on which

Kamata-Rajauli village is situated. The nearby Kamadgiri hill is identified as the Chitrakoot Giri of

Ramayan where Ram stayed for sometime during his Vanvasa, i.e. exile in to forests.

The river rises at the 240 53’ north 80

0 41’ east, below Dagri hill (484m.). The river below Nayagaon. It

also forms the north-eastern boundary for some distance. The total length of the river in the district is

about 44 km.
