UNION OF INDIA vs TECH MAHINDRA BUSINESS SERVICES LTD.(FORMERLY KNOWN AS HUTCHINSON GLOBAL SERVICES LTD.)

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a show cause notice issued to Tech Mahindra Business Services Ltd. regarding unauthorized telecom operations. The Court held that the petitioner should not be compelled to furnish an unconditional undertaking to pay the assessed loss, as it would infringe upon their right to challenge the order. The Court affirmed that the show cause notice remains outstanding and no coercive action should be taken for two weeks following the service of the order, thereby ensuring the petitioner's right to contest the decision under Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution.
