Unitech seeks embargo on Telenor

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Unitech, which primarily operates real estate business, has sought court intervention against its JV partner Telenor for business transfer.

The company filed a petition in the district court of Gurgaon. Unitech moved court under section 9 of the Arbitration Act. The plea, however, urged the court to restrain Telenor for violating the shareholders agreement, and thereby allowing embargo on it for entering into partnership with any other Indian partner.
