New Delhi: The Delhi High Court yesterday set aside its earlier order allowing telecoms operator Bharti Airtel to continue providing 3G intra-circle roaming facilities with other service providers.
A division bench of Chief Justice D Murugesan and Justice V K Jain set aside an order that had lifted curbs imposed by a single-judge bench on March 18 on the Department of Telecommunications’ (DoT) March 15 notification restraining Airtel from providing 3G intra-circle roaming facilities.
The DOT had asked Airtel to stop intra-circle 3G roaming in seven circles where it did not have the telecoms spectrum and imposed a penalty of Rs3.5bn for violating the licence terms.
The division bench’s order came on a plea filed by Reliance Communications challenging the March 18 court order.
