Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court remitted the matter back to the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) for reconsideration, emphasizing that the TDSAT's findings lacked thorough analysis on critical issues, including its jurisdiction. The Court noted that the government has the authority to change its policy regarding telecommunications, and such changes cannot be challenged unless proven arbitrary or mala fide. The Court upheld the introduction of Wireless Local Loop (WLL) with limited mobility, stating it benefits consumers and aligns with technological advancements, thus supporting the government's policy decision.
