ATC Telecom approaches TDSAT to recover dues from Etisalat DB

Etisalat DB has closed operation after cancellation of its license

PTI | May 23, 2012



Telecom infra firm ATC Telecom Tower Corporation has approached the sectoral tribunal TDSAT to recover its dues from mobile operator Etisalat DB, which has closed operations after cancellation of its license.

In its petition, the Kerala-based firm has requested the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal to direct Etisalat to pay Rs 70 lakh in dues.

The TDSAT has listed the matter for hearing on Friday.

ATC Telecom Tower was providing telecommunications infrastructure services to Etisalat DB, a joint venture between UAE-based telecom giant Etisalat and Dyanmix Balwa group.

Earlier, on May 4, TDSAT had restrained Etisalat DB from transferring its equipments lying with the Anil Ambani group company, RInfra.

The RCom subsidiary is claiming over Rs 1,200 crore as dues from Etisalat DB for using its telecom towers and other infrastructure.

Presently, Etisalat DB also is facing recovery suits on various forums including TDSAT, High Courts and Debt Recovery Tribunal.
