10 Feb 2014 Evaluate

India's Supreme Court on Monday has directed 'status quo' in United Spirits - British group Diageo Plc until April, when the court will hear the matter again, in length. In December, a regional Indian court, viz Karnataka High Court, ordered the annulment of the sale in response to a petition by creditors of United Breweries Holdings, which sold its stake in United Spirits to Diageo through a complicated share transaction. Diageo, then had decided to appeal the decision.

In 2012, Diageo had announced its intentions to buy 53.4% stake in United Spirits through promoters and other shareholders, valuing the deal at Rs 11,166.5 crore, but Diageo completed its takeover of United Spirits in July, 2013 almost eight months after the companies announced the deal because of legal and regulatory difficulties

United Spirits is the largest spirits company in India and a flagship entity of $2 billion UB group. It manufactures wide range of whisky, vodka, rum and other spirits.
