USL's scrip lost 3.65 per cent to settle at Rs 2,573.20 on the BSE. In intra-day trade, the stock dropped 5.97 per cent to Rs 2,511. At the NSE, the stock ended at Rs 2,577, down 3.50 per cent.
"We should not expect any major impact as management of USL will continue with Diageo and United Breweries Holding will go to Supreme Court," said brokerage Nirmal Bang Securities.
"We will take all necessary steps to protect Diageo's interests as well as our own," UB Group Chairman Vijay Mallya had said.
Similarly, Diageo said it is awaiting receipt of the detailed written order of the division bench of the Court of Appeal in Karnataka.
We do not believe that there are any grounds for declaring the sale of the 10,141,437 shares in United Spirits Limited (USL) (6.9 per cent of USL) purchased by Diageo on 4 July 2013 from United Breweries (Holdings) Limited (UBHL) as void, it stated.
However, it could acquire only 25.02 per cent stake in USL for a total consideration of Rs 5,235.85 crore due to tepid response from shareholders in its open offer.
