What happened
A bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manmohan dismissed the Centre’s appeal against a Delhi High Court order. The original order allowed Vedanta Limited and Ravva Oil (Singapore) Pvt Ltd to enforce foreign arbitral awards in the Ravva oilfield dispute. The Supreme Court sharply criticized the Centre for prolonging the dispute, stating its approach was frustrating the enforcement of the arbitral award.
