The Supreme Court Monday held that the coal blocks allocated from 1993 onwards were illegal, arbitrary, non-transparent and were devoid of any procedure
The court suggested to set up a committee headed by a retired apex court judge to examine what should be done for the re-allocation of these coal blocks.
The court made it clear that it was just a suggestion and it was open to a better option.
The next hearing will be held Sep 1 to consider the question of setting up a committee that will go into the allocation of coal blocks and how it should be done.
