“7. It is furthermore in dispute whether the petitioner has received notice under clause 4.2 of the Regulation. The petitioner is, even otherwise, in our opinion, in law, entitled to the protection till the expiry of 21 days of the service of notice under clause 4.2 and publication of the public notice in terms of 4.3 of the Regulation. The balance of convenience also lies in favour of grant of injunction as not only the petitioner but ultimately the consumers would have difficulties in finding out the channels which are stated to be popular channels in the state of Andhra Pradesh if the frequencies in which the transmission are carried out is disclosed. 8. Keeping in view the public interest involved in the matter, we are also satisfied that the petitioner shall suffer irreparable injury which cannot be compensated in monetary terms if the order prayed for by the petitioner is not granted. We, therefore, till further orders, direct the respondent to place the channels in the frequencies noted herein. We also make it clear that this order however will come to an end on the expiry of the period of 21 days from the service of the notice under 4.2 of the Regulation and the publication of the public notice under 4.3 of the Regulation, whichever is later.”
