Judgment on Goa mines on Wednesday

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court judgment on the Goa government's review petitions of November 2019 and other petitions for resumption of mining lying shut since March 2018 is most likely on Wednesday in the post-lunch session.

There may be a short date for the judgment if the Bench continues to examine the petitions in chambers as done previously on January 21. A

Bench of Justices Dr DY Chandrachud and MR Shah, before which eight review petitions on the matter are listed on Wednesday, had last Thursday deferred a day-to-day hearing to Feb 24 on resumption of the iron ore mining in Goa in view of the pending review petitions. Justice Chandrachud then said a decision on the review petition would be taken in 3-4 days.
