Supreme Court holds RCom, Anil Ambani guilty of contempt in Ericsson dues case

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday held Reliance Communications Ltd and its chairman Anil Ambani guilty of contempt for failing to pay dues to Ericsson India. The court was ruling on Ericsson’s contempt plea against RCom and its chairman Ambani for “wilful disobedience” of the court’s earlier orders to pay dues to the Swedish company. Rohatgi also denied allegations of RCom having received ₹5,000 crore from Reliance Jio and told the court that only ₹780 crore had been received under the failed deal, an amount that went to RCom’s lender. The Supreme Court had on 30 November cleared the spectrum sale by Anil Ambani-controlled RCom to elder brother Mukesh Ambani’s Jio on condition that the seller furnishes ₹1,400 crore as corporate guarantee to the government within two days.
