BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LTD. & ETC. ETC. vs M/S TATA COMMUNNICATIONS LTD. AND ORS. & ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed appeals by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. challenging the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal's decision regarding the effective date of revised infrastructure charges for telecom services. The court clarified that the revised rates, proposed to be effective from April 1, 2009, would actually apply from April 1, 2013, due to a 10% annual increase. The Tribunal's order rejecting the clarification application was upheld, affirming the revised charge implementation date.
