DEPARTMENT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS vs GUJARAT COOP.MILK MKTING. FEDERATION LTD

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of billing for international calls made from a subscriber's telephone, specifically under the context of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act, 1997. The Court held that the subscriber is responsible for all calls made from their line, including unauthorized calls made by others, as there was no evidence of external misuse or malfunction of the telephone system. The appeal against the telecom authority's decision to uphold the billing was dismissed, affirming the validity of the charges.
