Supreme Court Orders Expert Committee to Consult Stakeholders on Aravalli Hills Definition

The Supreme Court directed that the expert committee to define the Aravalli hills and ranges should include 5-7 members and consult domain experts and stakeholders to ensure public representation. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, emphasized avoiding a large, unmanageable panel. The court previously paused mining activities and the uniform definition of the Aravallis due to concerns over environmental protection criteria, seeking clarity on elevation and gap measurements affecting the range's status.
