Nokia appeal rejected by Supreme Court

The apex Court upheld a verdict by the Delhi High Court and ordered Nokia to give a guarantee for $572.5 million, Reuters reported.

Nokia, which is selling its mobile phones business to Microsoft in a $7.52 billion deal, last month appealed to the Supreme Court saying the Delhi High Court had imposed new conditions over the transfer of the plant, after previously lifting a freeze on the assets.
