News Supreme Court Rules Trai Regulation Is Arbitrary

[Technoglitch]

The Supreme Court Wednesday struck down the Trai regulation making it mandatory for telecom companies to compensate subscribers for call drops holding it as "arbitrary, unreasonable and non-transparent".

"We have held the impugned regulation to be ultra vires, arbitrary, unreasonable and non-transparent," a bench comprising Justices Kurian Joseph and R F Nariman said.

The apex court passed the judgement on the appeals filed by COAI, a body of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India and 21 telecom operators, including Vodafone, Bharti Airtel and Reliance, challenging the Delhi High Court order which had upheld the Trai's decision making it mandatory for them to compensate subscribers for call drops from this January.
