SC revises order: RCom's Anil Ambani will have to appear personally in contempt case

The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a “revised” order making it clear that RCom chairman Anil Ambani will have to appear in court at the next date of hearing in a contempt case filed against him by Ericsson over unpaid dues worth over Rs 550 crores.

In a revised order, Justice RF Nariman and Vineet Saran, clarified that the “personal appearance of the alleged contemnor (s) is not dispensed with”.

The written order issued yesterday had said that it had been “dispensed with” causing some confusion as the court in a hearing on Monday had turned down the demand from RCom lawyers that Ambani be exempted from making a personal appearance in the matter.
