The Court also noted that an issue not consciously considered in an earlier decision is not decided sub silentio for Article 141 purposes. Where a fresh notice under rule 72 was required, applications had to be invited anew from all eligible persons, so an earlier application could not survive for reconsideration. The process had to restart on equal terms. en-us Fri, 16 Feb 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 04 Oct 2017 15:34:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172879 Rule 72 of the Uttar Pradesh Minor Minerals (Concession) Rules, 1963 was treated as applicable to land earlier leased under Chapter IV and later withdrawn from auction or tender, because a literal exclusion would defeat the rule's purpose of transparency and prevention of favoritism in mining lease grants.
