Court’s orders
As of now, there is no judgement or any form of clarity on the matter and who is at fault here. And the next hearing is going to happen on 18 January 2021. The court has also asked both the parties to maintain at least a sum of Rs 1000 crores in their bank accounts in India before 2nd December and file the details of the bank. Philips has also asked the Delhi-high court to put a temporary stop to the import of Xiaomi devices till they do not come to a conclusion.
Well, it is difficult to say on whose way the decision might go and we have to wait for that till the next date given by the court.
