Reported in: [2003(2)JCR749(Jhr)]

P.K. Balasubramanyan, C.J.1. In this Writ Petition, filed on 30.9.1991, the constitutional validity of Section 19 of Coal Mines Nationalization Laws (Amendment) Act, 1986 (Act 57 of 1986) especially subsection (b) thereof, is challenged on the ground that the same is arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Act, which came into force on 23.12.1986, amended both the Coking Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act, 1972 and the Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act. 1973. We are concerned here with the amendment to Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act, 1973 which came into force on 1.5.1973.
