New Delhi: Anil Ambani-led RNRL today sought cross-examination of Petroleum Minister Murli Deora, accusing the Government of siding with the Mukesh Ambani’s group RIL.
This is the fresh twist between Ambani brothers over gas row. The case is in the Apex court now.
RNRL’s counsel Ram Jethmalani said before a Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, “I want both the Petroleum Minister and his Secretary to be cross-examined.”
Jethmalani claimed that the documents sought from the Government would establish that there was no clause for government approval on the pricing of gas to be supplied from the KG Basin.
He made the plea when Government and RIL opposed RNRL’s October 19 letter seeking certain documents from the Ministry of Power relating to gas supply and pricing.
