Amidst claims and counter claims, Mukesh Ambani headed Indian Petrochemcial Company Ltd (IPCL) yesterday (Apr 25, 2005) said younger brother Anil's resignation from its Board of Directors became effective from January 20, 2005 when the Board considered it.
"The Board's request for reconsideration of resignation and the response of Anil Ambani with pre-conditions does not change the fact of his having ceased to be a Director from January 20, 2005," IPCL said in a statement last night.
