Case No.1/2021 Dr.Mukul M.Sangma State of Meghalaya & others           The State Government has no doubt indicated the action already taken by it and their action plan, but it is quite doubtful if they would yield the desired result. There should be inquiry to find out the mastermind of the illegal mining and transportation of coal. This could be unearthed only by an independent inquiry by Central Organization like CBI. This forum earlier passed some order for CBI inquiry but the same is under challenge in the Hon’ble Meghalaya High Court. Having no scope for ordering CBI inquiry, it is felt proper to advise the State Government to recommend CBI inquiry, from their end. It is to everybody’s knowledge that the racket is being run by some powerful syndicate against whom no individual citizen could come forward to lodge a complaint revealing their identities .The popularly elected State Government for the benefit of the entire society, particularly for the economic interest, is expected to take a decision on this.  17-03-2021  
This petition accordingly stands disposed of.
