Legal setback for Sadhguru as Isha Foundation loses case in Madras High Court over ₹2.5 crore phone bill
The Madras High Court rejected Isha Foundation’s appeal in its dispute with telecom company BSNL over a huge phone bill. The court ordered a fresh (new) arbitration for the ₹2.5 crore bill because the first arbitrator wrongly decided the case without proper expert help. BSNL had presented very high international call records (much higher than Isha’s usual ₹20,000 monthly bills), and the court said technical experts are needed to check if the calls were real or due to hacking.
