#AGR hearing in the #SupremeCourt commences with a light hearted comment by Justice Arun Mishra. The leading judge on the bench wanted a light lamp to be moved away form his dais. The court staff fails to do so. The judge does it himself. "Yahan sab kaam khud hi karna padta hai".
Govt company Oil India, represented by Sr adv Mukul Rohatgi, seeks an audience but Justice Mishra is irate. "Who is making all this happen? We want to use very harsh words. This is completely nonsense. We have already said what we have to. What have you made of this system?"
Rohatgi opts to withdraw. Another matter mentioned but Justice Mishra says he is anguished. "A desk officer in the Govt stays a #SupremeCourt order. He says that he can stay the operation of the court order. Is there any law left in the country? Call that desk officer here."
Justice Mishra addresses SG Tushar Mehta: "What action have you taken against this desk officer? Should we wind up the Supreme Court now? Is there any law left in the country? Is this not about money power? Who is sponsoring all this? We will draw up contempt against everyone".
#SupremeCourt order in #AGR case: Show cause notices of contempt to all the telcos who haven't paid the AGR dues so far, including Vodafone & Airtel. CMDs and MDs of all telecom companies summoned to the court.
Contempt notice also against the DoT officer. SC says his order must be withdrawn by the evening or he should be ready to go to jail.

#AGR
Next hearing on March 17 when all telcos bosses have to show up in the #SupremeCourt to respond to the show cause notices of contempt.

"Pay up by the next date of hearing. This is the last opportunity all companies have. We must do this.. Corruption of all kinds must stop."
