Reliance Clarifies SC Order: Rs 10 Lakhs Payable to Advocates on Record Association, Not Fine
Reliance Industries Limited clarifies a news report about a Supreme Court order. The company states that ₹10 lakhs is payable to the Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association as costs, not a fine. The payment is to be made within five weeks from August 14, 2026.
The amount of ₹10 lakhs is negligible for a company of Reliance's scale, and the clarification prevents potential market speculation about penalties.
The clarification addresses a potentially negative news item by explaining that the payment is for costs and not a fine, thus mitigating potential negative perception.
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has issued a clarification regarding a news item stating that the Supreme Court of India has imposed a fine on the company.
In its clarification, RIL stated that there is no fine or penalty levied on the Company by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The operative part of the order dated August 14, 2026, indicates that the appeal was dismissed with costs quantified at ₹10 lakhs payable by the appellant (RIL) to the Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association. This amount is to be paid within a period of five weeks from the date of the order.
Consequently, RIL has stated that no disclosure was required to be filed by the Company under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as the payment is towards costs and not a fine.
