casestatus.in Summary

Summary of CA No. 005089/1997 - Quarry Owners Association v. State of Bihar Court Decision: The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Bihar's royalty enhancement notifications (dated August 17, 1991 and September 28, 1994) for minor minerals, rejecting the quarry owners' challenge. The court held that the State's delegation of power under Section 15 of the Mines and Minerals Act, 1957 is sufficiently guided and not excessive, with adequate checks through statutory provisions, preamble, and legislative oversight requirements. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
