UNION OF INDIA vs SANDUR MANGANESE & IRON ORES LTD. .

The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier judgment in Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd. vs. State of Karnataka, emphasizing the principles of natural justice under Article 137 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the Union of India was denied the opportunity to present its case due to lack of notice, which warranted a review of the previous decision. Consequently, the Court condoned the delay in filing the review petition and allowed the Union of India to represent its case, thereby ensuring fair representation in judicial proceedings.
