Supreme Court likely to hear telecos’ AGR pleas on Feb 3

The Supreme Court is likely to hear the incumbent telecom companies’ modification pleas on the Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) issue on February 3.

The case, in which the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has the respondent, has been tentatively listed for next Monday, according to a notice on the apex court’s website.

On January 21, the apex court had agreed to hear the pleas this next week, while it did not fix a specific date for the hearing.

Earlier this month, Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices had moved a joint application before the SC seeking modifications to the earlier ruling that said the telecom companies should pay their AGR dues before January 23.
