The Supreme Court today dismissed the appeal of the government in the Vodafone tax case, meaning that the govt. will have to refund tax money to the company. It was very clear that the govenment has filed the case to show that it is fighting for implementing its tax assessment. But in fact, it was not serious and the petition was only for name-sake.

Immediately after the dismissal  appeal, Minister Khurdhid announced that Rs. 2500 crores will be refunded to Vodafone.  It seems that the government wanted the same. Of course, it wants to support the private companies, especially MNCs.
