NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi government's auction of coal blocks continues to notch up legal victory in case after case, with the Delhi high court rejecting separate petitions by four bidders challenging classification of mines for bidding.

In its order passed on Wednesday, a bench of Justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva dismissed petitions by Monnet Ispat and Energy Ltd, Jayaswal Neco Industries Ltd, Utkal Coal Ltd and Bhushan Power and Steel Ltd challenging specific end-use set for the blocks. This is the latest round of vindication for the auctions. The government has won all the nine cases in which the HCs have given verdict on petitions disputing provisions of the auction or their interpretation by the coal ministry.

The positive legal outcomes also vindicate the government's arguments framed by additional solicitor general Sanjay Jain.

The nine favourable verdicts come in the backdrop of 35 cases being disposed of by the courts, either dismissing the petitions or the petitioners deciding against pursuing their case.

The outcome in the nine cases as well as the observations of courts in several other cases also indicate the robustness and efficiency of the e-auction process and stands in marked contrast to the federal auditor's comments to the contrary.
