Due to the power shortage in the country, the Centre has requested the Attorney General
According to a media report, Rohatgi asked the court not to refer the issue to a committee as “it would further delay coal auctions.”
The Supreme Court had earlier said that all the coal blocks allocated between 1993 and 2011 were illegal. "All allocations were done in an illegal manner and it suffers from vice of arbitrariness," it pronounced.
A bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha said that the allocation by the screening committee was not “fair and transparent.”
