The row over 'fastest mobile network' between Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel has now snowballed into a full-fledged legal battle. According to a report on gizbot.com, Reliance Jio has challenged in court 'India's fastest network advertisement' that shows Bharti Airtel as number one 4G network.

Jio has alleged in its complaint to the court that the advertisement has damaged its reputation and caused monetary loss to the new entrant in India's telecom market, the report revealed. Jio has further complained that the fastest network advertisement made and disseminated by Airtel amounts to conspiracy, defamation, breach of trust among many others.

"The former (Jio) has also asked for trial under Sections 204, 406, 420, 465, 499 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and if proved it can lead to fine, a few years imprisonment or both," the report further added.
