As the court declined to stay the operation of the high court's January order, Salve urged the court to tell the government not to take any coercive steps against the telecom companies.
Allaying the apprehension that government might take any coercive steps, Additional Solicitor General Paras Kuhad told the court that it would take four to five months before report on the auditing of the telecom companies account was finalized and tabled in parliament.
The court directed the listing of the matter Feb 11.
The high court held that CAG can audit that part of telecom companies account from which money goes to the consolidated fund of India under revenue sharing arrangement.
