M/s. Zenith Mining (P) Ltd., represented through its Resolution Professional, filed a writ petition before the Orissa High Court under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India challenging an Order dated 19.09.2024 passed by the Additional Secretary and Revisionary Authority under Section 30 of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, which rendered a Revision Application infructuous on the ground that the 50-year lease period had been completed. The petitioner also challenged an earlier State Government order dated 13.07.2023. The dispute traces back to a manganese ore mining lease over land in village Gonua, Koira Tehsil, Sundargarh District, which passed through several hands—including SAIL and Smt. Dev Kumar Bai Pandya—before being transferred to the petitioner-company, with the lease deed executed on 02.08.1996 with effect from 23.10.1991. The petitioner sought quashing of the impugned orders and directions to allow it to operate the Gonua Mines for the full 50-year leasehold period from 23.10.1991. The judgment text provided covers the factual background and procedural history but does not yet disclose the final operative decision of the court.
