The Supreme Court said on May 15 that continuance of mining activities within a radius of one km from the boundaries of critical tiger reserves would be in contempt of its April last year order.
The apex court had in its April 26, 2023 verdict directed that mining within a national park and wildlife sanctuary and within an area of one km from their boundary shall not be permissible.
A Bench headed by Justice B. R. Gavai was hearing an application seeking a direction to the Rajasthan government to stop all mining activities which were in alleged violation of the April 26 judgement.
