HEADNOTE:
JUDGMENT:
1. Leave granted.
2. It will be convenient to answer the questions of law that arise in the present case, before we advert
to the factual controversy between the parties. The questions of law are:
[1] Has an organiser or producer of any event a right to get the event telecast through an agency of
his choice whether national or foreign?
[2] Has such organiser a choice of the agency of telecasting, particularly when the exercise of his
right, does not make demand on any of the frequencies owned, commanded or controlled by the
Government or the Government agencies like the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited [VSNL] or
Doordarshan [DD]?
