Jharkhand HC: PESA Rules Needed for Mineral Allotments

The government in Jharkhand wants to allow mining of sand and minerals, but the court says they must follow the rules first.

There's a law called PESA that gives local tribal groups a say in what happens with resources in their areas.

The government hasn't made these rules yet.

Because of this, the court has decided to keep the ban on mining until the government sets up these rules.

This is because the court is ensuring that the local communities have a say as required by the law, and that tribal rights are protected.

The court has given the government more time to address the issue.
