In December last year, Vodafone had challenged TRAI’s recommendation to DoT to impose Rs 1050 crore penalty on it on RJIO’s complaint.
Vodafone had contended in its plea that TRAI did not have the power to recommend imposition of penalty and can only recommend revocation of licence for breach of licence conditions.
The matter is pending before another bench of the high court where the DoT and TRAI have contended that the plea was not maintainable.
