Mining Laws | Vehicle Release Post-Confiscation Requires Penalty Payment, Not Supurdaginama : Rajasthan HC

Release is contingent on payment of penalty and compounding fees, reinforcing the state's authority in confiscation proceedings. This holding impacts vehicle owners and mining operators facing seizure under mining regulations.
