Less than a month after Anil Ambani’s telco Reliance Communications was bailed out by brother Mukesh Ambani by settling $80 million in dues against Ericsson, an Indian court has hinted it may ask the latter to return that entire settlement amount plus interest should bankruptcy proceedings restart against RCom.
Hearing the RCom-Ericsson case, a judicial bench at the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), reportedly said that all other creditors would have to be compensated as well if insolvency proceedings are revived.
“Why should one party take the amount and other creditors suffer and why should banks suffer? Why should the Indian economy suffer?” Financial Express reported citing Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya.
