EASTERN COALFIELDS LTD. vs DUGAL KUMAR

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court dismissing the review petition filed by Eastern Coalfields Ltd. regarding the allotment of coal to a land loser under the policy formulated as per Section 617 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Court established that the acceptance of 1008 MTs of coal by the respondent constituted a full settlement of claims related to the acquired land, and the subsequent demand for additional coal was barred by delay and acceptance of the previous offer. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order.
