The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Union government to inform the bidders taking part in the coal block auction that benefits of any nature to them will be provisional and subject to the orders of the apex court.
A bench of the Supreme Court comprising Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian directed that the November 9 e-auction of 37 coal blocks across the country, including five in Jharkhand, shall be subject to its final order.
Significantly, Friday was the last working day of the Supreme Court before it goes into a weeklong vacation for Diwali.
