The court also issued notices to the TGSPDCL CMD in response to a writ petition filed by M/s Bharti Airtel Limited. Senior advocate S Ravi, appearing for Airtel, submitted that the company had obtained due permission under the Telecommunications Act, 2023, and the Right of Way Rules, 2024, and had paid about Rs 21 crore towards pole rentals since 2021. Despite this, TGSPDCL officials allegedly removed OFC lines without notice, violating Rule 18 of the Right of Way Rules, disrupting services to lakhs of subscribers, including hospitals and courts.
