Supreme Court's Niyamgiri judgment is perplexing as it lacks clarity

On 18th April 2013, the Supreme Court of India has delivered its judgement on a writ filed by Odisha Mining Corporation regarding mining of Bauxite in the Niyamgiri hills. The writ was filed against cancellation of Stage II clearance to the mining project by Ministry of Environment and Forest. The judgment, though is being hailed for upholding scope and authority of 'Gramsabha', lacks clarity almost all issues. That makes the judgment subject to selective interpretations. I have written an article on this which was published in the editorial page of Dharitri on 27th April 2013.
