Reliance Industries (RIL) had challenged Justice A M Khanvilkar's interim order restraining it from selling 40 million standard cubic metres of gas per day to be produced in Krishna Godavari gas field, which RNRL says has been committed to it for its power plants.

In an interim order on a petition filed by RNRL, the high court said that the 81.6 million standard cubic metres per day (mscmd) of gas is to be earmarked for RNRL, NTPC or for RIL's captive use for the next eight years.

On 4 May 2007, an interim order was passed by Justice A M Khanwilkar, preventing RIL from selling off the quantity of gas from its Andhra offshore field committed to younger brother Anil Ambani's entities including RNRL as part of 2005 demerger pact between the two brothers Mukesh and Anil.
