ADPA has written to the chairman of the Kimberley Process Certification System (KPCS) to convey its resentment at not being included in the G7 discussions held since February on the matter and has rejected the G7 diamond protocol.

Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the Jindal Steel & Power Ltd’s (JSPL) appeal seeking a direction to the coal ministry to refrain from taking further steps for development of the Chhendipada coal mine in Odisha. Rungta Sons, which had emerged as the highest bidder in an e-auction of commercial coal mines on February 28, was granted the Odisha coal block. Having lost the Chhendipada (revised) coal block to Rungta Sons, a subsidiary of Jharkhand-based Rungta Mines, JSPL alleged that it was wrongly and unfairly prevented from submitting its next higher bid due to glitches on the MSTC portal. A bench led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud upheld the Delhi High Court’s July 25 decision that rejected JSPL’s petition for quashing of the grant of the Odisha coal block to Rungta Sons. Counsel Gauri Rasgotra, appearing for JSPL, claimed that technical glitches on the MSTC portal during the e-auction on February 27 had prevented it from submitting a higher bid for the mine that has 513 million tonnes of geological reserves.
