Maa Tujhe Salaam.....

The call by Bombay High Court to the lawyers of the Ambani brothers to approach their mother for resolving the gas issue came as a surprise. Usually the disputes, which are not resolved by mothers or other family mediators, enter the courts while it has been the other way round in this case. Though our CPC also provides for concilliation and mediation among the conflicting paries, but such an advice by the court is definitely a novel thing. If this tussel over gas between RIL and RNRL is resloved by the mother we may find repitition of this act for involvement of elder family members. This is in-fact a healthy trend as there are less chances of having hard-feelings among the disputing parties but the side-effects involve the difficulty in implimentation of such negotiation outcomes which may not have any legal bindings. So, the legal kinngs of both the parties need to be on their toes so as to make the negotiations binding.
