In Brief
The Supreme Court dismissed review petitions filed by the State of Goa and Vedanta Limited against the 2018 judgment in Goa Foundation v. Sesa Sterlite. The review petitions were filed with delays of 650-907 days, far exceeding the 30-day limitation prescribed by Supreme Court Rules, 2013. The Court found no cogent grounds justifying the delay. Additionally, the Court disapproved the practice of filing review petitions strategically after judges' retirement, as it undermines institutional integrity. The petitions were dismissed both on limitation grounds and on merits for lack of legitimate review grounds.
