New Delhi: Reliance Vice Chairman Anil Ambani continued his public silence over differences with his elder brother Mukesh, but the two siblings are believed to be consulting their legal experts.

The much-anticipated statement from Anil in response to the public declaration by Mukesh that as Chairman and Managing Director he was the Group's boss, did not materialise. In fact, the younger Ambani did not turn up at a public function in Mumbai where he was slated to speak.

Sources in the two camps said that the brothers were separately consulting legal experts, which indicate that the battle may reach the courts.
