The Supreme Court on Thursday opined that Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) cannot deny knowledge of the Ambani family pact between the Ambani brothers, brokered by their mother Kokilaben [pictured]. Reliance Natural Resources Ltd (RNRL) counsel Ram Jethmalani wants to cross examine the seven directors of RIL, whose affidavits claim they had no knowledge of the contents of the family pact, in the event that their affidavits are admitted. In a related development, Additional Solicitor General Mohan Parasaran has denied reports that he had threatened to quit if Senior Counsel P.P. Rao was briefed.
