Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 23-06-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Employers in relation to the management of Tata Steel Limited.
- Respondent: Kamal Prasad Mehta.
- The petition seeks special leave to appeal an impugned final judgment and order dated 20‑03‑2026 (CR No.13/2023) of the High Court of Jharkhand, Ranchi.
- The High Court order itself arose from a Division Bench judgment dated 21‑12‑2022 in LPA No.144/2019.
- The management had earlier filed a review petition (LA No.4542 of 2024) and subsequently withdrew it, resulting in the review petition being dismissed as withdrawn.
- Counsel for the petitioner argued that the present SLP could be heard together with another SLP, but the Court held that once the review petition was withdrawn, the management could not now assail that order.
- The bench hearing the matter comprised Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Arun Palli (Partial Court Working Days Bench).
- The order was signed by Registrar‑cum‑PS Court Master (NSH), KAVITA PAHUJA, and SAPNA BANSAL.
Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition.
- The Court directed that any pending applications, if any, shall stand disposed of.
