The Supreme Court on Monday permitted magnates Reddy brothers to resume mining in Andhra Pradesh's Obulapuram on the condition that it would only be in undisputed areas.
The court had last week reserved orders on the plea of the Reddy brothers of Bellary to allow them iron ore mining in Obulapuram on the Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka border.
The three Reddy brothers - Gali Karunakar Reddy, Gali Janardhan Reddy and Gali Soma Shekhar Reddy - are mining barons of Bellary, India's richest mining town, and are considered politically influential. They own the Obulapuram Mining Company, which is engaged in mining and transportation of iron ore in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
