Shillong: The Meghalaya High Court ordered the state to file a formal status report regarding the 41st Interim Report on illegal coal mining. Judges Hamarsan Singh Thangkhiew and Wanlura Diengdoh issued the directive on Monday.
Justice retired B.P. Katakey submitted the findings on September 20, 2026. The bench described the document as “revealing and exhaustive.” They want the state to grab a copy from the Registry immediately. This report needs to address the ongoing suo motu proceedings.

They pushed the full consideration to the next meeting. The court set the next hearing for November 2, 2026.
