This decision allowed mineral-rich states such as Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh to collect retrospective dues, including royalty and tax on mineral-bearing lands, from April 1, 2005, over a period of 19 years, from the Centre and mining leaseholders.

The Centre is requesting an urgent hearing, citing significant "errors" in the judgment and warning that its implementation would impose a substantial financial burden.

The Supreme Court has directed the Centre to pay the past dues over the next 12 years in installments.
