SC refuses to stay Bombay HC order quashing Rs 3,300 crore one-time spectrum charge on telcos

The Supreme Court declined to halt a Bombay High Court ruling on spectrum charges. This decision impacts Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea regarding past spectrum usage. The High Court had previously quashed the government's ₹3,300 crore demand. This levy was for spectrum held beyond 6.2 MHz between 2008 and 2012. The Centre has now appealed this judgment to the Supreme Court.
