SC’s AGR order: Airtel, Vodafone Idea likely to file review petition

Airtel and Vodafone Idea are discussing with their legal teams on filing petitions for reviewing the Supreme Court’s recent order on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) after the Department of Telecom (DOT) told them to approach the court in this regard.

Any review petition is required to be filed by November 24 as there is a time limit of a month to file for reviewing a court order.

A binding decision of the Supreme Court or High Court can be reviewed through a review petition on the ground of apparent error. Under the Supreme Court Rules, 1966, such a petition needs to be filed within 30 days from the date of judgement or order.

Both the telecom companies in question did not respond to queries on the issue sent by IANS.
