Mealey's (June 8, 2018, 1:51 PM EDT) -- WASHINGTON, D.C. — A District of Columbia federal judge on June 7 refused to confirm a Malaysian arbitral award issued against the government of India and its Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, finding that enforcing specific performance of a part of the award, which would require India to allow the company to regain access to a geographic block to determine the viability of a reserve of natural gas there, would violate U.S. public policy (Hardy Exploration & Production [India] Inc. v. Government of India, et al., No. 16-140, D. D.C., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 95965)....
