M/S Sushila Chemicals P.Ltd.& Ors vs Bharat Coking Coal Limited & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the learned Single Judge that the stoppage of coal supply by BCCL was void ab initio due to violation of natural justice principles, as no hearing was provided to the appellants. The Court modified the Division Bench's order, allowing the appellants to submit supporting documents if they could not produce certain documents, while also permitting BCCL to conduct inspections if necessary. The appeal was disposed of without costs, emphasizing the need for BCCL to resolve the appellants' representations promptly.
