SC: Telcos’ AGR recalculation plea ‘misconcieved’, would alter earlier order

Kolkata: The Supreme Court has termed adjusted gross revenue (AGR) recalculation pleas of Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Tata Teleservices as “misconceived” and said that the relief being sought would in effect alter the quantum of the statutory dues which had been confirmed by it in its July 2020 order.

A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Justice L N Rao had on Friday dismissed the pleas of three telecom companies seeking a correction of alleged arithmetical errors in the AGR dues computation. The court order was made public on Saturday.
