Supreme Court forms bench for mineral-state appeals, seeking royalty and tax dues recovery from central gov't and mining co's.
The Supreme Court of India will form a bench to address appeals from mineral-rich states like Jharkhand, seeking recovery of significant royalty and tax dues from the central government and mining companies. This follows a July 25 ruling affirming state authority to tax mineral rights. The court clarified that states can recover dues dating back to April 1, 2005, over the next 12 years, not applying the ruling prospectively.
