The Supreme Court on 7 September 2026 rejected a six month extension sought by its own high powered committee tasked with defining the ecologically fragile Aravalli hills and range, and directed the panel to submit its final report by 30 November 2026 instead. Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, hearing the committee's plea for an extension until February 2027, remarked that it appeared to be waiting for his retirement and said the court would not allow further delay. The Supreme Court had earlier constituted the committee to recommend a uniform definition of the Aravalli range and measures to regulate mining in the region.
