General, Federation of Indian Mineral Industries Section 2.1: Notification by the Government of India, Department of Atomic Energy, published in the Gazette of India (extraordinary, Part II, Section 3, sub-section (ii), dated 20th January, 2006).

The notification is illegal because the Act No. 67 of 1957 was NOT amended moving the selected list of Atomic Minerals in Part B of First Schedule of the

Act to Open General Licence list, as Part C. Titanium bearing minerals and ores (ilmenite, rutile and leucoxene) continue to be listed as Atomic Minerals in part B of the First Schedule of Act No. 67 of 1957.
