The DoT is seeking legal opinions on whether a fresh demand can be raised on Idea for the differential amount between the market determined price and the entry fee paid for 4.4 MHz of administratively allocated spectrum of Vodafone.
It is also seeking legal opinions on whether this would be wilful disobedience of the court.
