Prominent DTH service provider, Dish TV has withdrawn its petition which it filed in the Telecom Disputes and Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) against Sony Pictures Network India (SPNI). In this petition, which Dish TV had submitted before the rollout of the new tariff regime in the industry, the DTH operator had challenged some of the clauses in the terms and conditions of the pre-NTO RIO. Now the DTH service provider has withdrawn its petition based on non-discrimination. To recall, it was back in February 2018 when the service provider had challenged the RIO. It is worth noting that during that time, Dish TV also had a subsisting RIO agreement which it had gone into on December 1, 2019.

Court Says Dish TV is Free to Find Legal Abode in Case of Grievance
On the matter, the court noted, “It is not in dispute that the parties have entered into a fresh agreement under the new regime on account of Regulations of 2017. In view of such developments, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that challenge by the DTH operator to the terms of earlier RIO of the broadcaster has become academic and, therefore, the petition may be permitted to be withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner that if an occasion arises, it will be free to challenge the terms of new RIO of the respondents.” The court also added that in case the DTH provider has any grievance in the future, then it is free to raise claims and also to seek appropriate proceeding as per the law.
