India’s top court today allowed Sesa Goa Ltd. and eight other iron ore companies to restart operations in Karnataka, 21 months after imposing a mining ban in the southern state for environmental breaches.
The Supreme Court, which had earlier allowed mines with the least number of irregularities to resume, today granted permission to those with a higher number of breaches. The permits of mines with the most number of violations were canceled, according to a ruling by a three-judge panel headed by Justice Aftab Alam.
