Broadcasters have moved the Supreme Court to challenge the Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellant Tribunal’s (TDSAT) 28 April order that sets aside the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) 27.5 per cent inflation-linked tariff hike. The appeals against the TDSAT order have been filed by the Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF), Star India and Vijay TV. They have been listed for hearing on 15 May by the apex court. The appellants have argued that TRAI has two functions, namely tariff fixation and inflation-linked adjustment, both of which can go hand in hand. They also contend that the inflation-linked tariff hike was given only after the Supreme Court allowed it. The inflation-linked tariff hike was last given in 2009.
