00:04Please, please, at least you always read and write.

00:3020% was cheaper than UPA's price.

00:33UPA's agreement was that when you sign a contract, it will take 11 years to supply.

00:41If this was 11 years of information, 11 years of information,

00:47then today this logic wouldn't have been given that it happened in 2016, why didn't it come till 2018 in 2 years?

00:53You were giving 11 years of time.

00:56And what I am saying, 9% and 20% is just the difference between the first ship.

01:04What does the Supreme Court say about the price?

01:07If they want, I can read and tell them.

01:12The Supreme Court says, we first decided that we will not look at the price.

01:18Later, to satisfy the conscience of the court, we asked for a price.

01:28The government gave us a price in a sealed cover.

01:32We opened the sealed cover and read.

01:35And after reading, after satisfying our conscience,

01:39we felt that we don't need to interfere in this case.

01:44The Supreme Court's conscience was satisfied.

01:49But the Congress Party's need for elections was not satisfied.

02:21The judgment says, we asked for the price in order to satisfy the conscience of the court.

02:29The government placed the price before us.

02:32We opened the envelope, we read the price.

02:35After going through it, we don't think it is a case where we would like a judicial review of the pricing at all.

02:40That is what the Supreme Court says.
