Anil Ambani appears before SC in contempt case by Ericsson India, Kapil Sibal his lawyer

Reliance Communications chairman Anil Ambani on Tuesday appeared before the Supreme Court in a contempt case by Swedish telecom equipment manufacturer Ericsson India over failure to pay outstanding dues of about Rs 550 crore. Ambani, along with Reliance Telecom chairman Satish Seth and Reliance Infratel chairperson Chhaya Virani, are also supposed to be present on Wednesday before a bench led by Justice R F Nariman, which had issued a contempt notice to the trio in January. The apex court has posted the matter for further hearing on Wednesday.

Senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi and Kapil Sibal, appearing for Ambani, argued that no contempt is made out against the trio.
