Tribunal dismisses consumer organisation’s plea

New Delhi: The broadcast tribunal TDSAT on Wednesday dismissed a petition filed by a Tamil Nadu-based consumer organisation seeking directions to Maran brothers-owned Channel Plus and Royal Cable Vision (RCV), a MSO owned by M.K. Azhagiri, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, to telecast Sun TV programmes.

The Federation of Consumer Organisations, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry requested the tribunal to intervene in the ongoing dispute between RCV and Channel Plus. The petitioner contended that the people were deprived of the Sun TV programmes.

TDSAT Chairman Justice Arun Kumar said “ the petition is not maintainable... RCV is already trying to get signals from Channel Plus and therefore the petition is disposed of at this stage.”

Earlier, on June 14 rejecting prayer of RCV for passing a direction to Channel Plus for providing Sun TV signals, TDSAT had directed Azhagiri-owned MSO to apply afresh after finding that it was not done in accordance with regulations framed by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.

According to the Interconnection Regulations, an MSO has to furnish a list of local or area cable operators who would be getting signals for their network. — PTI
