They are using the innocuous part of the judgement, which says that all natural resources don’t have to be auctioned in all circumstances, to claim vindication. They have even used the SCs opinion to criticize the CAG. This only shows the dishonest intent of the government. It was nobody’s case before the Supreme Court that even natural resources like water have to be auctioned while being allocated to people. The 2G judgment merely said that natural ...
