Justice MS Ramachandra Rao of the High Court at Hyderabad on Tuesday admitted two writ pleas filed by Orient Cements. The petitioners challenged the action of the Telangana State Mineral Development Corporation in raising demands for remittances to the National Mineral Exploration Trust.

The petitioner contended that the imposition of the said levy to the trust fund by the Central Government was retrospective in nature and thus without authority of law.
