While Justice Raveendran was withdrawing from the RIL-RNRL dispute, Justice Markandey Katju [pictured] was doing the same in the naphtha dispute between RIL and Bharath Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL). The matter has been in the courts for over a decade, and in the Supreme Court for six years. Justice Katju’s recusal has undone years of work, with all involved parties having to start once more at square one.
