It followed a meeting of a panel of ministers Thursday headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

The panel was set up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after criticisms that different ministries had divergent positions on the subject that is embroiled in legal disputes in the Bombay High Court and the Supreme Court.

While the Mumbai court is hearing the dispute between Reliance Industries and the state-run power utility NTPC, the apex court is adjudicating on the dispute between the Mukesh Ambani firm and RNRL.

'We will try to see that the government is one on the issues,' Law Minister Veerappa Moily had told reporters late Thursday.
