https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169367 Rule 8C of the Tamil Nadu Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1959 was valid as an exercise of delegated power under Section 15 of the Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957, because "regulating" minor mineral grants was wide enough to include prohibition for conservation of a scarce mineral. The rule also applied to pending applications and renewal requests, since renewal is treated as a fresh grant and no vested right exists to have an application decided under an earlier regime. However, the rule did not govern applications concerning patta lands where applicants owned the mineral rights, as no Government lease was involved. en-us Thu, 05 Feb 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:22:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169367 Rule 8C of the Tamil Nadu Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1959 was valid as an exercise of delegated power under Section 15 of the Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957, because "regulating" minor mineral grants was wide enough to include prohibition for conservation of a scarce mineral.
