Sun TV’s petition against NTO 2.0 adjourned for three weeks
MUMBAI: While Sun TV Network had challenged the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) recent amendments to the New Tariff Order (NTO 2.0) in the Madras High Court in January , the ongoing matter has been adjourned by three weeks.
The matter has been adjourned automatically by the Chief Justice as only urgent matters will be taken up under the current circumstances.
“There was absolutely no material available either scientifically or legally assessed that could support the introduction of the tariff,” the petition said. The broadcaster also said that the regulatory body had amended NTO without consulting the broadcasters.
The Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) also filed a writ petition against the regulatory body seeking a stay on the implementation of the recent amendments to the New Tariff Order in the Bombay High Court. However, the verdict is still awaited.
