PPA termination: SC grants Adani firm 3 weeks to reply to PSU plea on verdict
The Supreme Court on Thursday gave Adani Power (Mundra) Ltd three weeks’ time to reply to a curative petition filed by the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL) against the top court’s July 2019 verdict upholding the termination of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between the two.
A five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India N V Ramana also asked GUVNLA to file its rejoinder in two weeks after the Adani group submits its reply, after which the court will hear the matter again.
“The respondent (Adani Power Ltd) sought time to file a reply to the petition. Three weeks time has been given for filing the reply and two weeks thereafter for filing the rejoinder (by GUVNL). Put up for hearing on November 17,” ordered the bench, also comprising Justices U U Lalit, D Y Chandrachud, B R Gavai and Surya Kant.
