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 key issues, including its jurisdiction. The Court noted that the introduction of Wireless Local Loop (WLL) with limited mobility is beneficial for consumers and that the government has the right to change its policy without it being deemed arbitrary. The Court held that the petitioners cannot challenge the government's policy decision and that technological advancements must progress without hindrance.
