SPS alleges violation of SC orders in mining block auction in Karnataka, files contempt petition
Samaj Parivartana Samudaya (SPS) leader S.R. Hiremath has filed a contempt petition, recently claiming the Karnataka government breached Supreme Court directives. He says the state combined territories from cancelled and expired iron‑ore mining leases into five new blocks before putting them up for auction, contrary to the court’s orders. SPS officially seeks enforcement of the rulings.
