The Court further said,
“We permit to sell already excavated iron ore stock etc in the three Karnataka districts. Permission also granted to allocate iron ore by entering into direct contracts without resorting to e-auction.”
It also sought an opinion from the oversight committee on lifting of ceiling limit for production, mining lease etc. The committee was directed to send its recommendation in four weeks.
