The Supreme Court emphasized its April 2023 verdict, stating that mining within a one-kilometer radius of critical tiger reserves violates its directive. The ruling prohibits mining near national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and critical tiger habitats.

It deemed mining within the specified radius as contemptuous and scheduled a compliance review for July. The Court’s remarks underscore the importance of protecting wildlife habitats from industrial activities.
