On 1st August, Justice Sunil Gaur (who abruptly rejected P Chidambaram’s bail) set aside a trial court order which recommended prosecution of 3 senior Reliance officials for possessing secret documents of govt. cabinet meetings on economic affairs. (1/4)
The appeal was filed by Mukesh Ambani-controlled RIL & 3 accused officials - Group President V Balasubramanian, VP A N Sethuraman, and GM (corporate affairs) Shankar Adawal.
The trial court had ordered their prosecution in 2012 under the Official Secrets Act. (2/4)
Four secret/confidential cabinet meeting documents pertaining to govt. policies on subjects of interest to Reliance were recovered from the company's office & these officials in 1998.
As far as it’s known, the Modi govt. hasn’t appealed against this clean chit yet. (3/4)
