|
| The Supreme Court (SC) last week dismissed the appeals of Som Datt Builders Ltd against the Allahabad high court judgement raising the question if ‘ordinary earth’ used for filling or levelling in construction of embankments, roads, Railways and building are ‘minor minerals’ inviting royalty. The Centre, in a 2000 notification under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, has specified minor minerals as an item which attracted royalty. The company in this case entered into a contract with the National Highway Authority of India for widening G T Road in Kanpur region. It bought earth from the farmers and land holders. The Centre demanded royalty on the earth, claiming it to be minor minerals. The company moved the high court which dismissed its petitions. It appealed to the SC. |
