Scheme, Says VV Mineral

The Madras High Court had set aside an order that
quashed the rejection of mining scheme of VV Minerals
and Transworld Garnet India. Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan
Kaul and Justice T S Sivagnanam observed the order
issued by the Single Bench was, ‘bereft of any reason, nor
did it deal with the respective submissions of the learned
counsel for the parties.’
2. Furthermore, the submission of the companies to the
Court was a plea to cure defects examined by the Bureau
in the draft mining scheme. The Division Bench said that
the compliances will have to be re-submitted and
examined in accordance with the law by the authority.
The Bureau will have to issues the returned memo in the
form issued earlier while mentioning the reasons as to
what was not complied with. The memo will have to be
issued to VV Minerals India and Transworld Garnet India
within two weeks.
The differences came forth when the two companies stated
to have complied with the requirements for submission of
mining scheme. However, the Bureau denied any such
compliance. The Bureau raised objections on the draft
scheme submitted by VV Minerals India and alleged that
the companies failed to remove all the defects in the draft
scheme when it was re-submitted in January 2014.
Following these differences, VV Minerals India approached
the Single Bench and sought re-consideration of the issue.
Meanwhile, the court has ordered the Bureau to issue the
memo again and the company to resubmit its draft scheme
after that for beach sand mining.
