Supreme Court to Hear Vodafone Plea
The Supreme Court has adjourned a writ petition filed by Vodafone Idea Limited to October 27, challenging additional demands raised by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) towards Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues.
A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai and Justice Vinod Chandran adjourned the plea on Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's request. This is the fourth adjournment since September 2025.
The demands are being contested on the ground that they are contrary to the Supreme Court’s earlier orders of July 2020 and September 2020, which had crystallised all AGR liabilities for that period.
- The writ petition was filed by Vodafone Idea Limited challenging additional AGR demands for the period up to FY 2016–17.
- The case is scheduled to be heard on October 27.
Author's summary: Vodafone's plea against AGR demands adjourned.
