Can the Indian revenue authorities penalize another government department for breaking the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act of 1957 and for ignoring the National Green Tribunal’s guidelines on riverbed mining?
Best Answer
Under Indian law, revenue authorities lack the power to penalize another government department. Such violations fall under the jurisdiction of the relevant regulatory authorities, like the Ministry of Mines or the National Green Tribunal, who have the power to enforce the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act and NGT guidelines.
