The Court held that the 1962, 1969 and 2006 notifications were valid, and that executive assurances, recommendations, or memoranda did not create an enforceable right to a mining lease contrary to that reservation. Promissory estoppel, legitimate expectation, and desuetude could not override a valid statutory policy or compel action prohibited by law. The State was therefore entitled to withdraw overlapping recommendations, and the Central Government was justified in rejecting the related lease proposals. en-us Thu, 26 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 17 Nov 2023 09:52:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281363 The statutory reservation of the Ghatkuri iron ore area for public sector exploitation was upheld as consistent with the State's proprietary power over mines and minerals and the mining statute.
