Summary
The respondents challenged cancellation of their mining LOIs and Prospecting Licence. HELD- Neither an LOI nor a PL conferred an indefeasible right to a mining lease. The 2021 amendment applied to pending cases under Section 10A(2)(b), causing PL-based rights to lapse. LOI holders failed to secure lease execution by 11 January 2017. The State’s appeals were allowed, the Single Judge’s orders set aside, and the writ petitions dismissed. Eligible parties may seek statutory reimbursement.
