Vodafone Idea CEO’s AGR remarks triggers debate on Supreme Court’s final ruling

New Delhi [India], June 5 (ANI): On May 19, 2025, a two-judge bench comprising Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan dismissed petitions filed by Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel, and the Tata Group under Article 32, which sought waivers on AGR interest and penalties.

The court reaffirmed that the matter had been conclusively settled through its 2019 ruling and subsequent review petitions, stating, “It will be a very sad day if the highest Court of this Country starts entertaining Article 32 writ petitions on the same subject matter after the curative petitions are dismissed.”
