| The
ongoing case started with four of IMCL's old
distributors -, Sai Ganesh Enterprises and
three others - disconnecting the MSO's signals
in mid-April. Instead, they started beaming
the signals of a rival and new MSO, Scod 18.
IMCL had filed a petition regarding this in
the Tdsat.
In
its initial order, Tdsat had said that the
disconnections were illegal as notices had
not been issued and the four distributors
were to take the signals from IMCL (not
Scod 18). The signals were to be given to
the subscribers of IMCL. But when Sai Ganesh
did not comply with the order, IMCL had
filed a petition against non-compliance.
Tdsat
had subsequently appointed a court commissioner
to ensure compliance. The commissioner had
submitted its report.
Later,
the four distributors issued notices and
continued with the disconnection. But IMCL
had argued that this was not valid, and
appealed to the Tdsat to grant a stay on
the execution of the disconnection notices.
Tdsat
had refused to do so, upon which IMCL had
moved the High Court.
On
30 May the High Court granted the stay,
refuting the contention of the distributors'
counsels that they had not been heard.
