The Supreme Court today stated that all the 194 coal mining rights distribution allocated between 1993 and 2010 are illegal and asked to examine all these allocations since 1992. Except 39, all other allocations were made by the UPA Government.
The Coal Gate scam was revealed after the CAG gave its report stating that the government lost Rs. 1.83 lakhs due to illegal coal block allocations. The SC order has once again focussed on this loot of the country’s natural resources.
