    The Chhattisgarh High Court directed the competent mining authority to decide M/s Dalbir Singh and Sons' pending mining lease application within 45 days, finding that statutory authorities must decide applications within reasonable time. While declining to adjudicate merits regarding applicability of amended MMDR Act provisions, the court held that prolonged inaction caused uncertainty and prejudice, and ordered consideration of all relevant statutory provisions, amendments, and judicial precedents.
