This list includes Ex-Chief ministers of Goa, namely, Digamber Kamat, Pratapsing Rane, Ravi Naik. Others include: Arvind Lolyenkar, Roy Naik (son of Ravi Naik), other top officials from various other department, holders of lessees, officials involved in permitting excavation and export of mining ore, etc. This judgment has literally shaken Goa Kangress and Kangress at the center. Most Goans now say, 'This will ADD to negative impact on Kangress in up-coming 2014 poll results.' Read more at TOI - Goa edition, dated: 27th March 2013, front page OR any other Goan news papers.
