Mobile services provider Vodafone on Friday said the company terminated the contract with Matrix Cellular Services as per the terms of the agreement to protect the interest of its subscribers.
“The reported allegations by Matrix in some sections of the media are completely false and baseless. We have terminated the contract with Matrix as per terms of the agreement in order to protect the interest of our subscribers. We cannot comment any further as the matter in court,” a Vodafone spokesperson said.
The Delhi High Court had asked Vodafone Essar to restore services of Matrix,which offers telecom solutions to Indians visiting abroad,for next two months on providing help to post-paid subscribers.
Matrix approached the high court alleging that Vodafone on October 14 terminated the agreement,entered between the two firms on July 10,2003,by serving a notice which had said “the agreement would stand terminated two months thereafter”.
Matrix,in its plea,said “soon after the receipt of the said letter (termination notice) dated October 14,2011,Matrix found that service calls being made to mobile number 9811188888,belonging to Matrix,by the consolidated post paid subscribers were getting diverted to and being answered by Vodafone.”
