Though in the letter it is alleged that the signals of the channels have already been disconnected illegally, no evidence in support of this is available on record and also the reply of the respondent is not available as the matter had proceeded ex-parte. However, since in the letter it is clearly mentioned that respondent is no longer interested to take signals of the petitioner, taking this as a notice and after allowing for a notice period of three weeks in terms of clause 4.2 of the Interconnect Regulations, the respondent cannot claim any subscription charges with effect from February 2012(being the month after that in which the notice period expires) whereas as per the SOA, invoices have been raised till October 2012. In our view, the petitioner is, therefore, not entitled to any subscription charges for the months of February, 2012 to October, 2012 which as per SOA amount to Rs.3,62,566/-. The balance outstanding after accounting for this amount, comes to Rs.1,85,528/-. The petition is accordingly decreed for this amount along with interest at the rate of 9% with effect from 14-3-2013, the date of filing the petition, and till the amount is paid.
