Bhushan Power And Steel Ltd vs S. L. Seal & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the State of Odisha failed to implement its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding the grant of mining leases to Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd., specifically concerning the Keora area. The Court emphasized the binding nature of the MoU and the necessity for the State to fulfill its obligations as per the earlier judgment in Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd. v. State of Orissa. The Court found the State's inaction to be contemptuous and directed the State to take immediate steps to comply with the earlier orders regarding the mining lease.
