Supreme Court Dismisses Reliance Communications' Challenge to Bank Guarantee Invocation
The Supreme Court dismissed petitions by Reliance Communications and its lenders challenging the Department of Telecommunications' invocation of approximately ₹800 crore in bank guarantees related to the company's spectrum dues. The court ruled that the lenders should have approached the High Court first and clarified it did not assess the merits of the challenge. The guarantees were invoked following a February ruling on spectrum under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which the company argued did not justify the action.
