M/S. NANDRAM HUNATRAM, CALCUTTA vs UNION OF INDIA & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the State Government's decision to terminate the mining lease of the appellant firm for failing to fulfill lease conditions under the Mineral Concession Rules, 1960. The Court found that the firm was guilty of voluntary intermission in colliery operations and neglect, justifying the State's intervention. The Central Government's procedure in handling the revision application was deemed proper, as it followed the required steps and provided the firm an opportunity to respond, thus affirming the State's actions.
