Supreme Court heard ONGC’s Special Leave to Appeal petition; respondents failed to appear, leading to procedural directives immediate.
Court ordered that respondent’s Advocate‑on‑Record, Mr. Ayush Anand, be listed in the cause list for the next hearing.
The matter, deemed a short issue, was listed for further hearing on 19 May 2026 with liberty to file a four‑page short note.
