    Case Summary The Jharkhand High Court dismissed M/s Ramjanki Metals' writ petition challenging the rejection of its mining lease renewal application. The petitioner's original lease (2010-2020) was extended to 31.03.2022 via supplementary deed following its renewal application dated 28.12.2019. The court held that under Rule 23 of the Jharkhand Minor Mineral Concession Rules 2004, renewal applications must be filed 90-180 days before lease expiry; since the petitioner filed no fresh application within this window before 31.03.2022, the authorities correctly rejected its renewal claim. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
