Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a demand for payment by M/s. Tech Mahindra Business Services Ltd. under the UASL license, following a show cause notice issued by the Department of Telecommunications. The Court held that the calculation of loss incurred by the Government of India was erroneous as it relied on outdated ceiling rates, contrary to the principle of fairness in administrative actions. The Court upheld the TDSAT's decision to challenge the demand, emphasizing the need for accurate and fair calculations in regulatory matters under the UASL framework.
