Supreme Court Allows Oil India to File Fresh Plea Over ERD Rejection
The Supreme Court permitted Oil India to withdraw an interlocutory application and file a fresh plea to overturn the Centre’s rejection of its extended reach drilling proposal linked to hydrocarbon extraction beneath Assam’s Dibru-Saikhowa National Park. The government’s refusal is tied to a 2023 court ban on mining, while Oil India argues the pipeline is laid outside the park and runs 4,000 metres underground before going horizontally.
