Seeking modifications to the Supreme Court?s last year’s order imposing blanket ban on mining in Goa, iron ore producer Sesa Goa on Tuesday requested for permission to transport, sale and export 4.766 million tonne of already-mined iron ore lying at various locations in the state. Sesa Goa said that such lifting of ban on exports would boost the state?s economy.

A bench headed by Justice TS Thakur posted the firm?s plea for hearing on Wednesday after senior counsel Mukul Rohtagi sought early hearing in the matter.
