The Bombay High Court on Friday rejected a petition seeking a CBI investigation into Reliance Industries Limited and its chairman, Mukesh Ambani, over allegations of unlawful natural gas extraction from ONGC’s Krishna-Godavari basin fields.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Suman Shyam refused relief to the petitioner, Jitendra Maru, who had sought the registration of an FIR for offences including theft, dishonesty, misappropriation, and criminal breach of trust.
