New Delhi, July 09: The Supreme Court today adjourned the hearing on a petition filed by the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, challenging an Allahabad High Court verdict that quashed an Uttar Pradesh government notification to acquire land for the company?s 8,000-MW Dadri power project.
A bench, comprising Justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijjar, accepted ADAG’s plea to defer the hearing for three months after its counsel said that Anil Ambani was in talks with his brother Mukesh Ambani over the family business.
The Anil Ambani-led Reliance Power Ltd (RPL) had challenged the December 5, 2009, decision of the Allahabad High Court quashing the Uttar Pradesh government’s notification for using emergency powers to acquire land for the company?s 8,000-MW Dadri power project.
The High Court said that the State Government had side-stepped a provision inviting objections from land owners.
