The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that it will take a call on whether the review petitions against the court's judgment on Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) will be heard in an open court or not, after due consultation with Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde.

A bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said that he will take a call after discussing the matter with the CJI.

Telecom companies had then moved the apex court and filed a review petition seeking an open court hearing on the same.
