The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its order on the cancellation of coal block allocations that were earlier declared illegal.
Earlier this month, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi had proposed to the Supreme Court to exempt 46 coal blocks from cancellation, as they are in absolute readiness of production.
In total, there are 218 blocks, of which 80 have already been cancelled. Out of the remaining 138, these 46 blocks can be further exempted. Of these, 12 are ultra power projects that have already been exempted by the apex court.
