Bengaluru: In an order passed on July 9, the Supreme Court of India rejected pleas by Vedanta Ltd. and the state of Goa to review a judgment that cancelled the companyâs mining leases in the state. Notably, the court also criticised both parties for their legal strategy â waiting for judges to retire before filing their review petitions.
Review petitions are usually heard by the same bench that passed the original order except when the judges have retired.
