Bharti Telenet Ltd vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed appeals under Section 18 of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act, 1997, concerning the points of interconnection between a telecom licensee and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL). The Court held that the licensee is required to establish its own telecommunication network and interconnect with BSNL at specified levels as per the license agreement. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, affirming that the interconnection must comply with the stipulated network hierarchy, thereby dismissing the appeals for condonation of delay.
