Jharkhand High Court efuses to vacate stay on allocation of sand ghats in state

The Jharkhand High Court has refused to lift the stay on sand ghat allocations, directing Adivasi Buddhijivi Manch to respond to the state government’s plea. This decision follows a contempt petition filed by the Manch, alleging non-compliance with the Panchayat Extension of Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act.
