Supreme Court dismissed PNGRB’s appeals (Civil Appeals Nos. 1880‑1881/2024, 3649‑3650/2024) challenging cancellation of gas pipeline authorizations.
Earlier PNGRB orders had cancelled authorizations for Ludhiana and Kutch (East), encashed 100% guarantees and imposed 50% penalty.
Court held PNGRB failed to follow Regulation 16 of 2008 Rules, but found no substantial question of law, leading to dismissal.
Appeals and any connected applications were dismissed, leaving earlier cancellation orders and penalties intact.
