New Delhi, July 18: The government today filed a petition before the Supreme Court seeking a direction to declare as “null and void” the private family agreement of the Ambanis that provides for gas supply by RIL to RNRL.
The government petition has named as respondents RIL led by Mukesh Ambani and RNRL headed by Anil Ambani which have separately filed cross-petitions against the Bombay High Court June 15 judgement.
The Special Leave Petition was filed by the Petroleum Ministry, a day after it filed an affidavit in response to Mukesh-led RIL’s petition in the Supreme Court challenging the High Court order.
Just before the government moved its petition, RNRL filed its second affidavit saying the Petroleum Ministry’s affidavit yesterday was aimed at expanding its role and file pleadings that was not permissible to an intervener.
