Case brief
What is this about?
Mining leaseholders sought second renewals and execution of lease deeds. The court held that the Supreme Court's mining judgment did not bar second renewals and applied promissory estoppel. It directed execution for leaseholders who had paid stamp duty and expeditious decisions on the remaining renewal applications.
What did the court decide?
Execute second-renewal deeds for stamp-duty-paying leaseholders, subject to policy and Supreme Court conditions; decide other renewal applications preferably within three months.
