From the RNS just issued
Bhukia Project (India)
In collaboration with its strategic partner in India, Galaxy, the Company continued its efforts to negotiate an amicable outcome with the Government of Rajasthan (GoR). In parallel, the Company has continued to seek the enforcements of its rights through the High Court of Rajasthan. Up until Covid-19, the Company had made encouraging progress in its discussions with the GoR. However, with the onset of Covid-19, the Company's momentum stalled while India grapples with the high rates of virus transmission. In recent weeks, the Courts have resumed, primarily by video. While a new court date has been scheduled for early next year, there is no certainty that the case will be heard, and it may subsequently be rescheduled. The Company will update the market of any material developments in India as they occur.
In the interim, the Company continues to preserve its interests through the interim stay order in our favour by the Hon'ble High Court of Rajasthan (September 2018). The order restrains the GoR from granting third party rights within the area applied for by the JV under the PL application.
