https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281936 Section 8A of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 preserved transitional protection for leaseholders whose mining lease was in force on 12.1.2015, or whose timely renewal application remained pending under the governing rules. Mere expiry of the original term or renewal period did not by itself defeat the benefit where the renewal had not been validly rejected or determined in the manner recognised by the Act. Lapse under Section 4A(4) was also not automatic; it required a State Government order and communication to the lessee. The amended regime therefore protects valid subsisting or timely renewed lease claims, while excluding lawfully rejected or determined leases. en-us Mon, 04 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 07:31:01 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281936 Section 8A of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 preserved transitional protection for leaseholders whose mining lease was in force on 12.1.2015, or whose timely renewal application remained pending under the governing rules.
