Legal Dimensions Of Metallurgical Science: Navigating Environmental Compliance, Intellectual Property Protection, And Safety Regulations

Abstract

As a well-known fact, mining laws in every nation are regarded as the most crucial element and are required for the growth of the nation—especially for India, a developing nation. Nevertheless, India still suffers with the correct application of the law since several cases have been recorded where players of the mining sector have been abusing their resources. The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 is one of the important laws pertaining to mining laws in India; hence, this research article aims to examine whether they sufficiently meet the present needs of the nation generally. This paper would concentrate on the significant mining laws controlling the Indian mining industry and on their application by the government. First of all, the paper will examine and review the significant mining laws. Furthermore, the paper would highlight the difficulties the nation faces in relation to the mining industry and in respect of which the Legislature should pay attention and implement the required actions in the modern era. In line with this, this study would also examine the decisions rendered by the respective courts in view of the neglect of the mining laws in India. At last, this paper will go over the analysis and the way forward.
