Following this, as per Article 143(1) of the Constitution, a Presidential reference was sought on whether all natural resources had to be auctioned as ordered by the SC. After this, the SC had invited suggestions from State governments. The meeting was attended by finance minister O Panneerselvam, advocate-general A Navaneethakrishnan, and chief secretary Debendranath Sarangi.
