New Delhi: Facing threat of cancellation of its Rs 3,600 crore deal, AgustaWestland is understood to have sent a notice to Defence Ministry asking it to get involved in the arbitration process initiated by it.
The Defence Ministry has so far rejected the plea for arbitration by the firm and refused to be drawn into a legal battle with it.
The notice issued by the Anglo Italian firm has been received by the ministry recently in which it is learnt to have asked the government to get involved into the arbitration process failing which it will take up the issue at an international forum, sources said.
The notice comes soon after Defence Minister A K Antony said there was “no question” of India getting involved in the arbitration process initiated by AgustaWestland.
