00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:54,912
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: And.. that nothing can be done without a government approval and how this is in line with what the fertilizer [?]... has said earlier

00:02:18,463 --> 00:02:29,215
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam:No they will not change it.. They...what they are supposed to do is to add the bit about what this fellow is saying... (Name inaudible) is saying

16
00:02:29,215 --> 00:02:31,519
Niira Radia: Umm.... But we’ve also responded to that.

00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:40,478
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Yeah... umm... that also I’ll tell them to add so...but... what is the response to this 316 and uh 319 that they should take note of?

18
00:02:40,478 --> 00:02:43,039
Niira Radia: Para 311
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Yeah

00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:52,000
Niira Radia: That the contract of such nature is subject to the approval of government in view of any LP and TAC and such related government policies.

20
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,608
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Huh huh
Niira Radia: That is the one line... It’s a long clause

00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,183
Niira Radia: That was the judgment itself
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Ok

24
00:03:21,183 --> 00:03:28,863
Niira Radia: Para 311 is contract is subject to approval of the government in view of any LP and TAC 
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Yeah

25
00:03:28,863 --> 00:03:40,127
Niira Radia: And para 316 refers to the TSC that (sic) entered into on the 12th of April and.....uh.... price will be a factor which will be subject to that approval

26
00:03:40,127 --> 00:03:48,832

Niira Radia: (inaudible) ...Penalty on us for having signed the MoU in the first place
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Hmmm

30
00:04:18,272 --> 00:04:25,440
Niira Radia: Because we were not... we can not find a penal.... sign an MoU which asset doesn’t belong to us,  naa, effectively
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Yeah

31
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,535
Niira Radia: How can we give gas that doesn’t belong to us?
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Ok

32
00:04:29,535 --> 00:04:38,751
Niira Radia: But I would not think they’ll give me a ..give us a penalty... I think ..... uh... they will rap us.. rap us on our knuckles by saying: Why did you do this?
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Ok.. so..

33
00:04:38,751 --> 00:04:49,503
Niira Radia: But I have a feeling that the government is going to tell Mukesh Ambani: Who were you to sign this agreement?... It didn't belong to you
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Ok.. yeah but...uh

34
00:04:49,503 --> 00:04:52,320

G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Oh, my god!

35
00:04:52,320 --> 00:05:00,511

G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Huh uh

36
00:05:00,511 --> 00:05:12,544
Niira Radia: Amar Singh has come back and the excuse he is giving is that he's come back for nine days to do his will and all that and that he will be going back on the 9th of July

40
00:05:30,975 --> 00:05:42,496

44
00:06:13,727 --> 00:06:27,552
G. Ganapathy Subramaniam: Bhardwaj used to.. you know.. deal with him differently.... But now you know with Moily ... he will just not.. you know.. take any chances.... And they it seems... they want the prime minister to pull him up

45
