New Delhi: Reliance ADA Group Chairman Anil Ambani has asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to direct the Petroleum Ministry and the sector regulator to stop from "overtly and covertly" intervening in a commercial dispute his group firm has with Mukesh Ambani-run RIL.

Sources said that in a letter dated July 15, Ambani informed Singh that his group was "not claiming any rights to the ownership of the KG-D6 gas fields, whether through any family settlement or contractual claims or otherwise."

When contacted, a ADAG spokesperson said Ambani had indeed written to the Prime Minister.

The government, in its special leave petition before the Supreme Court on Saturday, sought a direction to declare as "null and void" the Ambani family settlement, as also to stay a June 15 Bombay High Court order asking RIL to supply gas to Reliance ADA Group firm RNRL.

"You may kindly direct the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Directorage General of Hydrocarbons and other relevant Ministries and Departments to cease from "overtly and covertly attempting to intervene in our commercial disputes with RIL..." a source quoted Ambani as saying in the letter.

Ambani, while expressing willingness to meet Singh to offer clarifications that may be required, also made it amply clear in the letter that the government's "ownership, rights and entitlements in the KG-D6 fields stand fully protected, and are indeed, not in dispute."

Amar S should have come out in full force now and make a statement about Anil Ambani committing suicide if Oil minister does not stop interfering between him and his big brother.

Is Anil Ambani asking us to buy RIL shares while both brothers invest in RNRL to make a killing later? Normally fights between 2 brothers makes one victorious and the other looser. Here, both have become winners.
