Supreme Court banned all mining activity in the Aravali hills area in Haryana. Court said ecological degradation is so serious that it cannot permit even the smallest mining activity in the region. In March, the court talked tough and showed its inclination for a total ban on mining in the Aravali hill areas of Haryana's Faridabad and Gurgaon districts.
The Special Forest Bench, comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices Arijit Pasayat and S H Kapadia, after continuously testing if the sustainable development framework could be applied in the area in other words, allowing mining but under stringent conditions of eco-restoration finally made its views clear. If there is total devastation of Aravalis, then the logical corollary is a total ban on mining activity. Individual mine lease holders, through senior advocate Anil Devan, argued that it had never been the court's intention right from the beginning to punish those who were adhering scrupulously to the conditions as also those who do not fall within the Aravali Hills area.
