Responding to reports that the company has to pay over Rs 60 lakh for failing to deliver apartments, Unitech said it has not got the certified copy of the order.

"The company has not received certified copy of the order and will accordingly take such appropriate legal recourse, as may be required or advised, upon receipt of such copy," it had said in a regulatory filing yesterday.
