Bombay Metal Exchange Ltd. v. Union of India (through Secretary Ministry of Mines)
Case brief
What is this about?
Purely administrative/interim order of the Bombay High Court (O.O.C.J.), 16 June 2025, in W.P. No. 1167 of 2025 (Bombay Metal Exchange Ltd & Ors. v. Union of India & Anr., Ministry of Mines). Hearing adjourned ('stand over') to 26 June 2025 because the registry failed to place the petition papers before the Bench; registry directed to place papers on the next date. Counsel for Respondents 1 & 2 (Savita Ganoo / Y. R. Mishra) handed over the affidavit-in-reply with an assurance to file it in the registry by 21 June 2025, which the Court accepted. No legal issue decided, no ratio, no statute or precedent engaged; not citable for any proposition of substantive law.
What did the court decide?
The Court was unable to proceed with the Petition because the registry had not placed a copy of it before the Bench. ¶13
