The Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has allowed Sun Distribution Services to disconnect signals to Hyderabad-based multi-system operator (MSO) Lifestyle Communication for default of payment. However, the tribunal has also made it clear that Sun must restore the supply of its signal as soon as the MSO makes the payment of the last instalment and clears the dues of licence fees for the current months. As per the tribunal’s order passed on 6 May, the MSO was directed to make an on-account payment of Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 million) towards arrears for the analogue Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) area for the period of April 2014 to March 2015. The payment was to be made in six equal monthly instalments along with an interest @14 per cent per annum. The interest will be computed from the dates the payments became due until the dates of the actual payment. The MSO was also directed to pay monthly subscription fee at the rate of Rs 700,000 per month for the same area.
