Banks stare at huge telco debt as telecom auction starts
The much-awaited telecom spectrum auction that starts today is likely to balloon the already bloated debt of telecom companies . Telecom companies, already saddled with huge debts and pending government dues payments, have raised or are in the process of raising funds ahead of the auction. The auction The government proposes to auction around 2,250MHz of the spectrum — worth approximately Rs 3.92 lakh crore at the reserve price — across various bands. A total of 2251.25 MHz of airwaves, across 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz frequency bands have been put on the block. Many brokerages, however, have predicted that more than 80% of the spectrum would remain unsold, and the government to get less than Rs 50,000 crore. Analysts say the moderate participation would largely be limited to the renewal of the expiries in the 800 MHz and 1800 MHz bands.

Nirav Modi judge rebuts Katju, says no evidence of political influence
The UK judge who handed down his judgment on Thursday in favour of the extradition of Nirav Modi to face charges of fraud and money laundering in India said he had found no evidence of adverse political influence in the case, as claimed by the diamond merchant's legal team. In support of their claims, Modi's lawyers had deposed retired Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju -- of whom district judge Samuel Goozee was highly critical and dubbed the evidence as "less than objective and reliable". "Albeit, some political commentary could be described as ill-advised, there is nothing in the volumes of media, broadcasting or social media links that have been referred to me in the voluminous defence bundles that gives any indication that politicians are trying to influence the outcome of any trial, let alone NDM's (Nirav Deepak Modi) trial or that the trial process itself would be susceptible to such influence," Justice Goozee notes. "I reject any submission that the GOI ... » Learn More about Nirav Modi judge rebuts Katju, says no evidence of political influence
