INDIAN CHARGE CHROME LTD. . vs UNION OF INDIA . — R.P.(C) No. 353/2003

Case Summary: Indian Charge Chrome Ltd. v. Union of India R.P.(C) No. 353/2003 | Heard: 1 April 2005 The Supreme Court admitted review petitions filed by Indian Charge Chrome Ltd. challenging a December 2002 judgment that dismissed civil appeals regarding a chromite mining lease for Nava Bharat Ferro Alloys Ltd. The Court found two manifest errors apparent on the record: (1) the judgment's failure to consider petitioners' contention that a critical June 30, 2001 clarification letter lacked proper state government authority, thereby vitiating the Central Government's subsequent approval; and (2) absence of opportunity for petitioners to address a Chief Minister's January 14, 1999 order relied upon to justify preferential treatment. The Court recalled the December 17, 2002 judgment and directed the civil appeals and transferred case be relisted for full hearing.
