Tata Sky withdraws its contempt petition against TRAI

Tata Sky had recently filed a contempt petition in the Delhi High Court against Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). This was after the Authority issued had a press note announcing that its tariff order had come into effect from July 3, 2018. 

Tata Sky yesterday withdrew its contempt petition against TRAI for implementing the tariff order, after the Delhi High Court said that there was no case of contempt against TRAI.

The starting point of Tata Sky’s contempt petition was that last year, Bharti Airtel, Telemedia, Tata Sky and Discovery Communication India had filed petitions against TRAI in the Delhi High Court; demanding its tariff order and the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable Services) Interconnection Regulations 2017. The matter was already being heard by the Madras High Court and on August 29, 2017 orders, the Delhi HC had told TRAI that ‘upon the pronouncement of the judgment by the High Court of Madras, the respondents shall inform the petitioners of the outcome in the judgment and shall inform this court as well before effectuating the orders.’
