NEW DELHI: The Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal (Tdsat) directed the distributors Star Den and MSM Discovery to further produce relevant documents by 21 July for the case registered by Wire & Wireless India Ltd (WWIL) and Dish TV.
Earlier in its petition, Dish TV and WWIL had alleged that Star Den and MSM Discovery were denying their feed for the upcoming Headend-In-The-Sky (HITS) service to be launched by WWIL. Star Den distributes the Star group of channels while MSM Discovery has a bouquet that includes Sony and Discovery channels.
During the proceedings, Dish TV and WWIL said Trai (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) in its recommendations had mentioned that the existing HITS permission holders should be allowed to commence their operations provided they agree to migrate to the new regulatory requirements within three months of it being framed. And if the licence holder fails to do so, it is liable for the licence to get cancelled.
The duo also said that an undertaking has been signed according to which WWIL and Dish TV are ready to migrate to the new framework for HITS whenever it is prepared.
Meanwhile, the channel distributors showed their apprehension by saying that providing signals to WWIL and Dish TV for HITS might violate the downlinking and uplinking guidelines set by the ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
The case will be heard again on 22 July.
