She formed part of the core team representing the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) before the Supreme Court of India dealing with the Presidential Reference on allocation of natural resources. The Supreme Court (In re, Special Reference No.1 of 2012; (2012) 10 SCC 1) ultimately approved the CII stand that auction is not the only method of allocation of natural resources, contrary to what was suggested by the earlier judgment in the 2G Spectrum Case ((2012) 3 SCC 1).
