SC dismisses DoT plea against TDSAT order in RCom spectrum sale case

The Supreme Court Tuesday rejected a petition of the telecom department against a TDSAT order which had fixed the liability of past dues related to Spectrum Usage Charges (SUC) on Reliance Communications (RCom).

The top court said the Department of Telecom (DoT) plea was without any merit and dismissed it

In February 26 order, the Telecom Dispute Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) said the liability of past SUC dues rested only with RCom and not Reliance Jio which was looking to buy the firm’s 800 MHZ spectrum.
