Vedanta out, SC admits Sterlite plea

What's in a name? Apparently, everything, given the manner in which the Supreme Court has reacted to Norway's expulsion of the Vedanta group from its "investment universe' allegedly for environmental and human rights violations. While dealing with a controversial mining project in Orissa, SC replaced one subsidiary of the group with another simply because the latter does not bear the name Vedanta.
