The District Court of the Sixteenth Judicial District in and for Rosebud County, Montana, denied the request of Western Energy Company (Western) that Genie Land Company (Genie) and the Montana Department of State Lands (MDSL) be enjoined from denying it the right to obtain a coal strip-mining permit and the right to enter upon lands in order to strip-mine coal without further consent or waiver from Genie. The court also refused to declare Section 82-4-224, MCA, unconstitutional. Western appeals to this Court. We hold the statute unconstitutional and reverse and remand.
