JSW Steel Wins Orissa High Court Cases on Mineral Dispatch Demands
JSW Steel has received favorable judgments from the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa at Cuttack in two significant legal disputes concerning demands raised by the mining authorities. The first case involved a demand of ₹6,963.21 Crores related to a shortfall in mineral dispatch from the Jajang Iron Ore Block for the first year of the Mine Development and Production Agreement. The High Court has disposed of the company's writ petition, and JSW Steel believes the demand letter stands quashed. The second case pertained to a demand of ₹14,726.95 Crores for the fifth year's dispatch shortfall. The High Court has set aside this demand and remitted the matter for a fresh decision, considering the legal position established in prior judgments. The delay in disclosure was due to the time taken to review these judgments.
