The Supreme Court on Monday declared allocation of all the 218 coal blocks made since 1993 as “illegal and arbitrary” while also holding that the central government had no power of allocation under the relevant laws.
Court says that the allocation is necessary to cancel or not, is required on this hearing. 
Stating that the all allocations made by the screening committee and Government  are  illegal, Supreme court justifies that in coal block allocations they had not adopted fair and transparent process. 
 Because of arbitrary attitude national wealth has been affected, which suffered huge losses to the exchequer. 
However, the Court made it clear that the decisions being made by the CBI and the ED would have no impact on coal block allocation scam.
