Cuttack, Jan 10 (PTI) The Orissa High Court today fixed February 2 for hearing a petition filed by Vedanta Alumina Limited (VAL) challenging the Centre's decision to reject its Stage-II bauxite mining in Niyamgiri Hills for Lanjigarh refinery.
Although, the matter came up for hearing before the division bench of Chief Justice V Gopala Gowda and Justice Harjinder Singh Bhalla, it adjourned the case to next month after hearing it partly.
The bench is likely to go for a joint hearing after tagging all matters on the issue. Besides, the VAL, the Orissa government too have filed separate petitions on the case while several PILs, including one by Lanjigarh Anchalika Vikash Parishad were also filed in the HC seeking to quash the October 22, 2010 notice of Union Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF).
