The government on Friday welcomed the verdict of telecom tribunal TDSAT dismissing a petition by Reliance challenging a penalty of Rs 150 crore and said it justified the position taken by the Department of Telecom on illegal call routing.

"Our position stands justified because DoT always thought that a lot of illegal call-routing was done. That is why we fined them (Reliance) Rs 150 crore," Communications Minister Dayanidhi Maran said when asked for comments on TDSAT judgement delivered by a bench headed by Justice D P Wadhwa.

"They (Reliance) went to TDSAT. TDSAT is the ultimate authority on telecom disputes and we really appreciate the judgement given in our favour," the minister said.
