Supreme Court Allows Delhi High Court to Hear Centre's 2.31 Billion Claim Against Reliance
The Supreme Court has allowed the Delhi High Court to continue hearing the Union government's appeal to recover about 2.31 billion from Reliance Industries and its partners in the longstanding Panna-Mukta and Tapti offshore oilfields dispute. While the Delhi High Court will proceed on the merits, Reliance retains the right to challenge the maintainability of the appeal after the final verdict. The dispute involves claims over revenue recovery under production-sharing contracts signed over 30 years ago.
