The Supreme Court on Wednesday held industrialist Anil Ambani guilty of contempt in a case filed by telecom equipment maker Ericsson. The court slapped a fine of Rs 1 crore on three Reliance Group companies - RCom, Reliance Telecom Ltd and Reliance Infratel Ltd - in the case. The Swedish telecom equipment maker had complained that Reliance Communications had not paid up as ordered by the court earlier.

The apex court directed Anil Ambani to pay the dues of Rs 453 crore in four weeks failing which he will be sentenced to three-month jail term. An amount of 118 crore is already deposited with the registry. The court directed this amount to be released immediately.

The court observed that RCom had no intention to pay and had “willfully” not paid Ericsson the due amount. An apology by RCom was also rejected by the top court.

Earlier, a bench of Justices RF Nariman and Vineet Saran on February 13 reserved its judgment when Ericsson India had alleged that the Reliance Group has money to invest in the Rafale jet deal but they were unable to clear its dues of Rs 550 crore. The Anil Ambani-led company denied the charge.

Anil Ambani had told the Supreme Court that has entered insolvency proceedings due to failure of Reliance Communications (RCom) assets sale deal with Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio. He argued that he is not in control of the funds.



Maybe the Rafale deal will help him, or he will take Indian Defence Dept down with him.
