Case Overview

  • Petition for Special Leave to Appeal (C) No. 24622/2026 filed by Amara Raja Energy and Mobility Ltd (formerly Amara Raja Batteries Ltd) against the State of Madhya Pradesh & others.
  • The Court had previously ordered on 17 July 2026 that the petitioner serve notice to respondents 1 to 4 and file spare copies for issuance of notice.
  • Counsel for the petitioner had not filed the required spare copies and claimed service of notice to the first respondent (the State).
  • The Registrar directed the Registry to verify the service claim and instructed counsel to file proof of service within two weeks.
  • Counsel requested additional time to file spare copies for respondents 2 to 4; the Court granted a final one‑week extension for this filing.
  • The Court stipulated that if the spare copies are filed within the granted period, notice will be issued immediately and the matter will be listed for hearing on 22 September 2026.
  • If the petitioner fails to comply, the case will be listed before the Hon'ble Judge in Chambers for further directions.

Final Outcome

  • An extension of one week (as a last opportunity) is granted to file spare copies for respondents 2‑4, and two weeks to submit proof of service for respondent 1.
  • Compliance will trigger immediate issuance of notice and listing on 22‑09‑2026; non‑compliance will lead to a listing before the Judge in Chambers.
