The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected the curative petitions of four telcos- Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd (SSTL), Videocon Telecommunications Ltd, Tata Teleservices Ltd (TTSL) and Idea Cellular Ltd and the former telecom minister A Raja in 2G case.

Earlier in April 2012 the review petitions of Videocon Telecommunications Ltd, S Tel Ltd, SSTL, TTSL, Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Pvt Ltd, Etisalat DB Telecom Pvt Ltd and Idea Cellular Ltd were rejected.

Observing that no case is made out within the parameters indicated in the decision of this Court in Rupa Ashok Hurra vs Ashok Hurra & Anr, Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and justices P Sathasivam and G S Singhvi rejected the pleas of the telecom firms and Raja.

Reacting to the dismissal of its plea SSTL said that it is unfortunate that SC has not admitted its curative petition.

“It is unfortunate that the Hon’ble Supreme Court has not admitted the curative petition of Sistema Shyam TeleServices Limited (SSTL). The Company believes that it has been unfairly penalized in the 2nd February 2012 order by the honourable Supreme Court. While SSTL remains committed to its operations, however it would be up to the shareholders to decide the go forward strategy of the Company”, it said in statement.
