RCom had last week moved the Supreme Court in an attempt to complete the asset sale and to also avoid going to the National Company Law Tribunal.

India’s Reliance Communications Ltd (RCom) said on Wednesday its bondholders had approved their asset-sale plan, which includes the sale of certain assets to upstart rival Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd.
