The Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear the Odisha mining case.

An NGO, Common Cause had knocked the doors of the apex court seeking a direction from it to stop illegal mining in Odisha.

Earlier in September 21 last year, the apex court issued notice to the Centre and Odisha Government demanding a detailed reply of the iron ore sharing contract between Sarda Mines and Jindal Steel and power Limited (JSPL) within two months.

A division bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Dipak Misra and also comprising Justice C. Nagappan, sought the reply from both the Centre and Odisha Government.
