The dispute has arisen between the petitioners on the one hand and the 2nd respondent on the other, as regards the continued availability of the signals transmitted by the 2nd respondent. According to the petitioners, Ext.P3 notice issued by the 2nd respondent is inconsistent with the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable Services) Interconnection Regulations, 2004, framed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. I am not inclined to consider this contention in as much as that the petitioners have effective alternate remedy before the Telecom Disputes Settlement and appellate Tribunal under the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act, 1997. Reserving the liberty of the petitioner to avail such remedy, writ petition is disposed of. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
