Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the interim orders of the Jharkhand High Court directing Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) to resume coal supply to the respondents, finding no evidence of black marketing or mis-utilization of coal as alleged. The Court noted that the suspension of coal supply was based on an FIR alleging criminal conspiracy under Section 120-B IPC and other sections, but emphasized the lack of material evidence to support such claims. The Court held that the respondents were entitled to the coal supply under the Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) until proven otherwise.
