Supreme Court rejects ONGC plea against HC order

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected state-run ONGC’s plea against the Delhi High Court’s order that put on hold its notice inviting tender (NIT) and the consequent e-auction with regard to sale of 2.0 MMSCMD of natural gas from its block in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.

A Bench led by Justice Vineet Saran dismissed as withdrawn the PSU’s plea seeking to vacate the HC order, but allowed it to approach the HC for expeditious disposal.
