‘Irregularities’ in KG Basin gas pricing: Delhi court accepts closure report in case against UPA ministers, RIL chief

A Delhi court Thursday accepted a closure report filed in a case of alleged irregularities in the pricing of natural gas from KG Basin against former Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, former minister Murli Deora and former Director General of Hydrocarbons V K Sibal, noting that the report does not disclose any criminality.

Special Judge Geetanjali Goel accepted the closure report filed by the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) on September 15, 2021 noting that “there is nothing on record which warrants a direction for further investigation into the matter or for taking cognisance of any offence in the matter”.
