In a fresh blow to coal mining companies, the country’s apex court Supreme Court on Friday refused to give any further hearing on the pleas of companies which were illegally allocated coal blocks by the government, PTI reported.
Rejecting the plea, Chief Justice R M Lodha, who headed the bench, said that the case should be re-heard in case the apex court decides to cancel the allotments, quoted PTI.
The bench has already reserved its order on whether it would cancel the award of more than 200 coal blocks it had previously ruled illegal.
Last month, Supreme Court cancelled all coal block allocations since 1993 terming them illegal.
