TDSAT adjourns hearing on WLL issue to April 28
April 23, 2003 12:21 IST
The telecom dispute tribunal, TDSAT, on Wednesday adjourned the hearing on WLL case to Monday in view of the Supreme Court fixing April 25 as the date for hearing the Centre's plea against the tribunal's order asking the government to make public official notings pertaining to its policy on the WLL issue.
The TDSAT is hearing cellular operators' plea on WLL based limited mobility to basic telephone service providers.
The Centre had on April 17 filed a petition in the apex court challenging a TDSAT order directing the government to give cellular telephone operators copies of certain "sensitive documents" relating to the contentious WLL issue, saying the disclosure of such papers would harm public interest.
The petition stated that the direction of TDSAT to give copies of the privileged documents to the contesting private litigating parties, who had "commercial and other interests", would be against public interest.
The government's appeal in the Supreme Court follows TDSAT's order of April 8, 2003 directing the Centre to file certain documents for which privilege had been claimed.
