https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471655 Rule 9 of the Orissa Minerals Rules permits suspension or cancellation of a licence for breach of licence conditions only after issuing a show-cause notice. Transit passes or permits cannot be withheld merely on concerns relating to group entities where those concerns have been clarified and do not establish a breach by the licensee. Environmental-clearance issues concerning another group entity do not justify action against the licensee under Rule 9. Licensing authorities exercising quasi-judicial power must act independently, identify a prima facie breach of licence conditions, and cannot act under another authority's dictation. Suspension was liable to be quashed upon filing an affidavit confirming rectification and future compliance. en-us Mon, 08 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 10:41:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471655 Rule 9 of the Orissa Minerals Rules permits suspension or cancellation of a licence for breach of licence conditions only after issuing a show-cause notice.
