Supreme Court Appoints Justice Ranjana Desai to Mediate Krishna-Godavari Gas Dispute
The Supreme Court appointed former judge Ranjana Prakash Desai as sole mediator in the Krishna-Godavari basin gas migration dispute between Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and the Union government. The dispute involves allegations of gas migration from ONGC's adjoining blocks to RIL's fields and challenges to a Delhi High Court ruling that set aside an arbitration award favoring RIL. The court directed Justice Desai to seek assistance from two domain experts and encouraged both parties to cooperate in mediation to explore an amicable resolution.
