Supreme Court Directs JioStar to Approach Delhi High Court in TRAI Tariff Dispute
The Supreme Court directed JioStar India Pvt Ltd to approach the Delhi High Court regarding its pending petitions challenging parts of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) television channel pricing framework. The court disposed of JioStar's transfer petition, noting that TRAI's regulations, which are delegated legislation, fall under high court jurisdiction, while tariff orders are administrative and handled by the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal. JioStar argued that the framework treats commercial entities like luxury hotels the same as residential subscribers, seeking differentiation in pricing.
