The Madras High Court on Friday granted eight weeks for the State government to spell out its stand on the issue of alleged illegal mining of beach sand minerals in the State and the proposed action. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu asked amicus curiae V. Suresh to file a brief history of the trajectory in which a suo motu public interest litigation, taken up by the court in 2015, had traversed so far. The interim orders were passed after the case was listed before the first Bench for the first time after several months since it was dealt with by a special Division Bench led by Justice M. Sathyanarayanan who retired from service recently.More Related News
