Bharti to litigate telecom ministry's penalty notice

REUTERS - Bharti Airtel said it is "shocked" and "disappointed" to receive a demand notice of 6.50 billion rupees from the DoT. The company said it believes that demand for penalty is "devoid of any merit" and has no justification both on facts and in law.

Bharti added that the DoT order leaves company with no choice but to litigate.
