Union Of India vs Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd. & Ors

The Supreme Court reviewed the service of notice to the Union of India in Civil Appeal No. 7944 of 2010, finding that the notice was improperly served to a non-existent entity, 'Ministry of Coal and Mines', instead of the correct 'Ministry of Mines'. The Court emphasized the principles of natural justice, stating that a party must be given an opportunity to represent its case before any judgment adversely affecting its interests is pronounced. Consequently, the Court allowed the review petition, recognizing the procedural error in service of notice.
