Smita observed, *“For Vi, this opens a critical window to negotiate relief through recalibration of dues or extended payment timelines, though it does not imply any automatic waiver.”*

She further added, *“The court’s emphasis on bringing ‘finality’ ensures that past liabilities cannot be endlessly reopened, creating much-needed regulatory certainty.”*

Her analysis highlights the nuanced balance between ensuring regulatory stability and providing commercial flexibility in India’s telecom sector.
