HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5216 of 2011 Date: 04.03.2011 Between : P. Sateesh & another. ….Petitioners And The District Collector-cum-District Magistrate, Hyderabad & others. ….Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5216 of 2011 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioners seek directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the inaction on the part of respondents 1 to 3 in issuing instructions to respondents 4 and 5, to provide cable network signals to the subscribers of Golnaka, Amberpet, Hyderabad, as illegal and arbitrary. Cable Television Networks are regulated by the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995. It is the grievance of petitioners that respondents 4 and 5, who are the service providers, have disconnected the cable connections of petitioners and others, and thereby, they are being deprived of the television programs. It is stated that inspite of filing a representation before respondents 1 to 3, no steps are being taken by them for restoring their cable connections. It is to be noticed that the petitioners have not brought to the notice of this Court, any provision that empowers any of respondents 1 to 3 to adjudicate the disputes between the service providers and consumers. In the absence of any such power under the provisions of the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, no direction as prayed for in the writ petition, can be issued. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 4th March 2011 ajr
