Senior Supreme Court judge Justice S H Kapadia today recused himself from hearing a matter pertaining to public offer made by London-based Vedanta Resources to buy additional stake in ironore exporting firm Sesa Goa as he happens to be shareholder of a sister company. Justice Kapadia is holding shares of Sterlite Industries, a sister concern of Vedanta Resources. He has been in the middle of the controversy for being a part of the Special Forest Bench which earlier heard a petition challenging mining in hills in Orissa by Sterlite Industries though he had disclosed in the beginning that he was a shareholder of the Vedanta group company.<br/>Earlier, Justice R V Raveendran had on Wednesday withdrawn from the Bench hearing the gas row between the Ambani brothers as his daughter is associated with a solicitor firm advising the Mukesh Ambani group on other global acquisitions. Besides, Justice Markandey Katju also recused himself from another RIL dispute on pricing of naphta with BPCL saying his wife holds shares in the Mukesh Ambani group companies.<br/>
