Delhi HC reserves judgment on $1.18 bn Tata-DoCoMo arbitration award

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday reserved its judgment on the enforcement of the $ 1.18 billion Tata Sons-NTT Docomo arbitration award, sought to be realised by the Japanese telecom company in line with a settlement agreement arrived at between the two groups. Justice Muralidhar's decision came on the backdrop of lengthy arguments by the RBI, which has opposed the enforcement of the award on grounds of violations to Indian law and disregard of regulatory considerations.In Wednesday's hearing, the central bank once again highlighted the issue of violations to public policy involved with the realisation of the award, even if Tata had decided not to oppose it. According to the RBI, the agreement, through which DoCoMo had received a favourable ruling in the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) was a void agreement and could not be issued in terms of damages.

RBI opposes Tata-DoCoMo settlement

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to decide by March 14, its position in the $1.18 billion arbitration award now sought to be enforced by Japanese telecom major NTT Docomo, in line with a settlement agreement reached with Indian conglomerate Tata Sons.Justice Muralidhar's order came on the backdrop of detailed arguments made by the RBI against a joint application by Docomo and Tata on February 28, requesting the court to allow the terms of the settlement reached at by the two companies and enforce the June 22, 2016 London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) award in favour of Docomo.
