Reliance Industries has replaced its ex-CJI SP Bharucha, who resigned last week as its arbitrator, with former UK appeals judge Bernard Rix as the third arbitrator in its dispute with the government over the KG-D6 basin, reported PTI.

Bharucha had reportedly recused himself after the government had objected to him because he had allegedly not disclosed his previous links to Reliance, after the parties had tussled for months to find mutually satisfactory arbitrators in the dispute.
