Supreme Court Appoints Justice Ranjana Desai to Mediate Reliance-ONGC Gas Dispute
The Supreme Court appointed former judge Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai as the sole mediator in the long-standing Krishna-Godavari basin gas migration dispute between Reliance Industries Limited and the Union government. The dispute involves allegations of gas extraction from adjoining ONGC blocks and challenges to a Delhi High Court ruling that overturned an arbitration award favoring Reliance. Justice Desai will be assisted by two domain experts, one from each party, to explore an amicable resolution. The court will review mediation progress in four weeks.
