Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Regulation 18 of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Regulations, 2008, rejecting Adani Gas Limited's challenge on grounds of violation of Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The court found that the regulation was not ultra vires the PNGRB Act and that the authorization granted to Gujarat Gas was lawful. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
