Why in news
A nine-judge Bench of the Supreme Court recently decided not to review its earlier judgment from July 25.
The July ruling upheld the power of State legislatures to tax mineral-bearing lands and quarries, stating that this power is not exclusive to Parliament.
Led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, the majority dismissed review petitions from the Union government and others, stating no clear error was found in the original ruling.
This decision is significant for state governance and tax policies, potentially affecting revenue generation at the state level.
The ruling underscores the balance of power between State and Central governments in India’s federal structure.
