Air India has won a nod of an appeals court in Quebec to challenge a Canadian court order that allowed foreign investors in Bengaluru-headquartered Devas Multimedia to seize its funds to recover compensation for a failed 2005 satellite deal with Antrix Corporation, a commercial arm of ISRO.
The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed an appeal filed by Devas Multimedia challenging a court order to wind up the company. A day later, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said a 2005 deal between Devas and Antrix Corporation was a proven fraud.
The Bengaluru-based company has been engaged in a decade-long legal tussle with ISRO’s commercial arm Antrix. A detailed verdict is likely to be uploaded by the afternoon.
