Tirupati: A day after settlement of the acrimonious ownership row in the Reliance empire, Anil Ambani today (Jun 19, 2005) visited Tirupati temple to thank Lord Venkateshwara for resolution of the crisis in the family.

The seven-month-long family dispute was settled yesterday (Jun 18, 2005) with the mother announcing the resolution of ownership issues between her two sons after a night-long family meeting.

As part of the settlement, Anil gets Reliance Energy, Reliance Infocomm and Reliance Capital while elder brother Mukesh, who along with his wife flew to Goa yesterday to attend the marriage of the daughter of his close lieutenant Anand Jain, would retain flagship company RIL and IPCL along with some other group companies.
