- Kian please report accurately, it widely known that it was AZB and Khaitan which helped Reliance. RIL's primary legal adviser has always been AZB Bombay.
Is that how you publish articles? How u THINK?!
In this case, it seems fair to treat these as separate deals. We've reported the other leg of the transaction here:

Thanks for the tip in comment 1.1.2 above.
I think the confusion may be because RIL announced both deals at once, which is how most media reported them.
