Australian court to review Adani’s mine project

TIL Desk/Business/Melbourne-The Queensland Supreme Court will today reveiw Indian minining giant Adani’s controversy-hit 21.7 billion dollar Carmichael coal mine project in Australia after a green group challenged the state government’s approval to one of the world’s largest coal mines projects.

Conservation group Coast and Country, which had filed an appeal in the Supreme Court for a judicial review, will argue that the state government’s approval to the controversial project was not made lawfully and should be overturned.

The green group’s spokesperson Derec Davies said, “C&C is of the view that the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection made an error of law and did not comply with an important environmental obligation when approving construction of one of the world’s biggest coal mines.”
