Vodafone said in a statement that there is no such acknowledgement from DoT’s end of full & faithful operation ib this 18 years license & also being the pioneer to enter into this market where there was no concept of mobile telephony in India by spending around thousands of crores to create such network.

 Meanwhile the application of extending the telco licenses were pending & at the same time Airtel, Loop & Vodafone challenged the Govt.’s decision to auction the 900 MHz spectrum.

As per clause 4.1 the govt. can extend the validity of license by 10 years at one time  only if the request arose from the operator end in the 19th year of the license period.

The court has told Mr. Mittal to appear in front on April 11.

Millions of dollars can be put as a penalty if any of the allegations were found true & any of the top level executives of the company can be put in prison for minimum to minimum 7 years in a row.

Both on the floor of Parliament and by affidavit in the court that the spectrum allocated was as per their policies as per Indian Govt. added to the statement.
