Supreme Court adjourns Ericsson contempt hearing to Wednesday

The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned hearing in the contempt plea moved by Ericsson India against Reliance Communications’ Chairman Anil Ambani to Wednesday as the case could not be taken up due to the paucity of time. The top court was hearing the contempt petition moved by Ericsson against Ambani as his company has failed to pay Rs 550 crore the former.

A two-judge bench headed by Justice Rohinton F Nariman asked Ambani, who was present in the court on Tuesday, to be personally present in the court on Wednesday too. In the third contempt petition moved by Ericsson, it has alleged that the insolvency route taken by Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications (RCom) has “dishonest intention” intended to frustrate the orders of the court.
