The Ambanis yet again dominated the national headlines as the multi-billion dollar dispute between brothers Anil and Mukesh began limping through the Supreme Court.

Then, as though there was not nearly enough drama in the saga, one of the three judges discovered that his daughter was a partner at AZB Bangalore.

Practising lawyers have largely expressed support for AZB & Partners and Justice R.V. Raveendran’s shock recusal in the Ambani brothers’ dispute, although several have questioned the timing and causes of the decision.
