illegal auction

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has ordered a crackdown on illegal mining, citing revenue losses and environmental concerns. He also pushed for resuming non-operational mines, including coal blocks, and boosting gold production. Soren emphasized quality and timely completion for government infrastructure projects, exploring coal-based energy for hostels due to LPG issues.

In a landmark case that has spanned 15 years, a woman's determination to claim her rightful half of a shared flat culminated in a Supreme Court ruling for an auction of the property. The journey was fraught with challenges, especially after a 2012 court decree had previously recognized her ownership and the right to collect rent.
