JHARKHAND STATE FOREST DEVELOPMENT vs BIHAR STATE FOREST DEVELOPMENT CORPN — C.A. No. 3563/2005

Case Summary: C.A. No. 003563/2005 The Supreme Court heard Jharkhand State Forest Development Corporation's appeal against a High Court judgment dated 10.2.2004. While Bihar Forest Development Corporation accepted the judgment entirely, Jharkhand challenged certain concluding observations regarding the amalgamation of the Jharkhand company with Bihar's corporation and director nominations under the Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000. The Supreme Court ruled that such observations exceeded the High Court's jurisdiction, as Section 66 of the Act vests such powers with the Central Government alone. The Court expunged the impugned remarks and directed that parties may approach the appropriate forum with any grievances. The application for intervention was dismissed.
