 "Shell challenges India tax demand order in court")
Royal Dutch Shell Plc's India arm has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court challenging the claims by the local tax authorities that a share sale to its overseas parent in 2009 was undervalued by about 152 billion rupees.
The Anglo-Dutch oil company filed the "writ petition" in the Bombay High Court on Wednesday, a company statement said.
