Case Summary NMDC Ltd. v. State of M.P. (CA 7880-7883/2001) The Supreme Court held that "slimes" (ultra-fine waste particles produced during iron ore processing) are not subject to royalty charges under the Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957. The Court found that while slimes contain ferrous content, they are commercially non-viable waste materials distinct from "fines" under Schedule Entry 23, and Parliament deliberately omitted slimes from royalty computation by specifically listing only lumps, fines, and concentrates.
