Summary of R.P.(C) No. 000741/2003 - Orissa Mining Corporation Ltd. v. Union of India The Supreme Court admitted review petitions against its December 17, 2002 judgment dismissing civil appeals and a writ petition challenging the Central Government's approval of a chromite mining lease grant to Nava Bharat Ferro Alloys Ltd. The Court found manifest errors: (1) non-consideration of the contention that a State Government clarification dated June 30, 2001 was unauthorized and vitiated the Central Government's approval, and (2) reliance on a Chief Minister's order dated January 14, 1999 without providing parties opportunity to address it. The Court recalled the previous judgment and directed the cases be relisted for fresh hearing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
