NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Russia-backed Indian refiner Nayara Energy Monday said it has started legal proceedings against Microsoft following the abrupt and unilateral suspension of critical services by the U.

Microsoft has abruptly suspended its services to Nayara, leaving thousands of employees locked out of their familiar digital workspace. No Outlook. No Teams. No warning.

Nayara Energy has accused Microsoft of unilaterally halting access to its licensed digital tools, data, and proprietary services despite no legal compulsion under the US or Indian laws to do so.

Nayara Energy, an Indian oil refining and marketing firm supported by Russian investment, has filed a legal case against Microsoft.

Delhi High Court agrees to hear Nayara Energy's plea against Microsoft for suspending essential services without prior warning; seeks interim injunction for service restoration

Nayara Energy has moved the Delhi High Court against Microsoft Corp, which suspended access to the refinery's tools, data, and licensed software
