Argus Partners has successfully represented United Hotels and Properties (HHI Group) in a cyber negligence case under the IT Act, 2000 against Vodafone Idea. 

The Cyber Adjudicating Officer has directed Vodafone Idea to compensate HHI Group with ₹2.75 Crores for financial losses from unauthorized SIM replacements.

The issue arose when fraudulent SIM requests led to the deactivation of HHI Group’s business mobile number and resulted in financial losses.

The team at Argus Partners comprised Soorjya Ganguli and Pooja Chakrabarti (Partners) and  Debomita Sadhu  (Senior Associate).
