Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Respondent-company was granted prospecting licences for exploration in an area, which was in excess of the maximum limit provided by Balochistan Mining Concession Rules, 1970
Certain clauses of the Joint Venture agreement concerning aggregate area for which prospecting licenses and mining leases were to be granted created uncertainty within the ambit of S.29 of Contract Act, 1872 and were also in violation of Rules 28 and 42 of the Balochistan Mining Concession Rules, 1970
Joint Venture exploration agreement in question was, therefore, held to be void and unenforceable.
