Supreme Court Upholds Pre-2015 Mining Lease Rights Benefiting Deccan Gold Mines
Deccan Gold Mines shares rose sharply after the Supreme Court upheld mining lease rights granted before the 2015 amendments to the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act. The court ruled that such pre-2015 approvals retain vested rights and are exempt from the post-2015 auction regime and 2021 lapse provisions. This ruling benefits Deccan Gold's Ganajur Gold Project in Karnataka, which holds significant gold resources. The company is assessing the judgment's impact on ongoing proceedings.
