Supreme Court fines Reliance ₹10 Lakh for 20‑year NTPC gas suit delay
A two‑judge bench imposed a ₹10 lakh cost on Reliance Industries for dragging a 2005 NTPC natural‑gas supply suit through two decades of litigation. The court chastised RIL’s endless objections, noting the case never moved beyond the evidence stage. The penalty, modest for RIL, signals growing judicial intolerance for corporate delay tactics.
