Hathway gets interim relief by TDSAT against disconnection notice issued by Media Pro

The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) on 24th February have given an interim relief to Hathway Cable & Datacom against disconnection notice issued by Media Pro. The Court further directed Hatway Cable to pay Rs. 160 million as outstanding dues to Media Pro Enterprise India by 28 February. 

The TDSAT has directed both the parties to carry out a reconciliation of accounts before 7 March. Apart from the payment, Hathway will also have to submit the monthly subscriber line report to the respondent latest by 15 March. 

While urging both parties to expedite the reconciliation of accounts, the tribunal said that Hathway will have to make the balance payment on the basis of the reconciliation of accounts either in one or two installments by 31 March. 

The interim order came on a petition filed by Hathway seeking interim relief against Media Pro’s outstanding due demands. Hathway had filed eight separate petitions with the TDSAT, seeking relief from disconnection notices issued by Media Pro for non-payment of dues. 

The tribunal also stated that the payment of the dues is in addition to the monthly subscription fee payable by Hathway and the payment of the monthly subscription fee for the month of February will have to be made in time. 

The tribunal put up the matter for hearing on 4 April for getting the pleadings completed and, if the parties agree, to frame the issues required for determining the case. It also asked the two parties to file their replies, if any, within three weeks from the date of service of notice. Rejoinders, if any, can be filed within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the reply.
