Supreme Court stay on Aravallis Judgment:
The Supreme Court has stayed its November 20 judgment that accepted a 100-metre elevation criterion for defining the Aravalli hills, amid nationwide protests by environmental groups.The stay pauses the Court’s earlier acceptance of the Union government’s height-based definition of the Aravalli hills (landforms ≥100 m above local relief) for regulating mining. The interim order restores status quo ante, preventing immediate regulatory dilution while the Court re-examines ecological and constitutional implications.
