Supreme Court asks government to bring ‘finality’ to Vodafone Idea issue

The Supreme Court on Friday asked the government to bring “finality” to Vodafone Idea’s (Vi) issue, even as it agreed to hear the cash-strapped telecom firm’s petition seeking quashing of the Department of Telecommunications’ move to raise an additional demand of ₹9,450 crore toward Adjusted gross Revenue (AGR) related dues until FY19.

A bench led by Chief Justice B R Gavai took note of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta’s submission that more time is required to work out a possible solution.
