Section 30 of the Mines and Minerals
(Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (MMDR Act) confers powers on the Central
Government to revise any order made by the State Government or other authority
in exercise of powers conferred on it by the Act or under the Rules made thereunder for minerals other than minor minerals, of its
own motion or on an application made within the prescribed time by an aggrieved
party. Thus the power of Revision lies
with Central Government as per the MMDR Act, 1957. State Government have been empowered under Section 15 of MMDR Act 1957 to
frame rules for revisionary authority for minor minerals. There is no Tribunal prescribed under MMDR
Act or any Rules there under.
This
information was given by the Minister of State for Mines (Independent Charge) Shri Dinsha Patel in a written
reply to a question in Lok Sabha today
