Karnataka HC: No interim order on Rs 19 per channel tariff order
The court said the imposition was as per SC’s judgment to allow the Centre to regulate tariff of cable operators
The Karnataka High Court has refused to grant an interim order in the TRAI versus Bharti Airtel Ltd. case, challenging the imposition of a tariff of Rs 19 per channel in a bouquet.
The court said the imposition was as per the judgment of the apex court, which had allowed the Centre to regulate the tariff of cable operators.
In January, TRAI directed DPOs to comply with provisions of the Tariff Amendment Order and report compliance to the authority.
Meanwhile, the Kerala High Court has pushed the hearing of the All India Digital Cable Federation's petition to February 22, 2023. The cable operators body has sought a stay against the implementation of the TRAI tariff amendment under NTO 3.0.
