https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=284761 Rule 38-B of the Tamil Nadu Minor Minerals Concession Rules, 1959 was upheld as a valid exercise of delegated power under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, and not as a State law requiring Article 304 compliance. The Court held that the rule was not ultra vires Sections 15(1) and 23-C, because the statutory scheme authorised regulation of mineral transport and storage. It further held that "regulation" in Section 23-C is wide enough to include prohibition, and rejected the ejusdem generis contention. The restriction was also sustained on environmental protection and public trust doctrine grounds. en-us Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 17:40:19 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=284761 Rule 38-B of the Tamil Nadu Minor Minerals Concession Rules, 1959 was upheld as a valid exercise of delegated power under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, and not as a State law requiring Article 304 compliance.
