AGR Case: After Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea Approaches Supreme Court To Seek Modification Of Dues

The Supreme Court has never had the occasion to consider the correctness of the figures and had only decided on principles to be adopted and seeking a correct assessment based on those principles does not amount to a review of the Supreme Court decision.

Though technically no fresh application is maintainable in a disposed of case, there are instances when even after a final judgment has been delivered,a party may approach the court seeking modification of the judgment. On the current issue,it is difficult to say how will the court approach the request. There has been a certain element of subjectivity and the courts have dealt with such requests on a case to case basis. However,it cannot be completely ruled that the companies may get some relief from the top court if they manage to convince the court of the errors they are pointing out in the calculation of the dues.
