The Hon’ble High Court has already given its verdict on 16th May 2008. The Hon’ble High Court has declared all the agreements entered upon by Ortel Communications ltd and the Distribution companies (CESU & WESCO) as void as it was bad in law. The Hon’ble High Court has also directed the State/Dept. of Energy to prepare fresh guidelines so that a level playing field is prepared and equal opportunity is given to all.
The Hon’ble High Court has directed the state/Dept. of Energy to form the guidelines within six months from the date of judgement(16.05.2008). But the State Govt./Energy Dept has failed to form the guidelines and implement the same in the stipulated time.
Now the Dept. of Energy has knocked the doors of Hon’ble High Court again for grant of 6 months time to complete the process of formation and implementation of guidelines.
Grant of time by the Hon’ble High Court will only benefit the pampered child of the Govt.(ORTEL COMMUNICATIONS LTD)
The earlier arrangements will automatically prevail till the implementation of new guidelines, thereby llowing Ortel to continue to use the poles of the distribution companies whereas other will have to wait for the guidelines.
JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED…….
So earlier the better.

Grant of time by the Hon’ble High Court will only benefit the pampered child of the Govt.(ORTEL COMMUNICATIONS LTD).

i would like to state we has thought that otv being local one will come up in proper way knowing the test of oriya.
but the owner being oriya had started doin all shorts of gundaism by not allowing other cable operators to operate as well not viewing channels related oriya like etv, naxatra and channels which are likely to be launched in near future.
they should remember that they are skyview -A CABELWALLA .and OTV is a satellite channel ,taranga ,ETV ,NAXATRA NEWS AND others.
it is quite surprising that they boom channels of malayasia and other countries but not local channels like etv and naxatra news.
if they think they are no.1 then they should have guts to compete rather take such steps.
I think politicians are well aware and they hand in it or selse how come they are asking “NAXATRA NEWS CHANNEL” to pay 80 lakhs for allowing viewers to see there channel.
if its on then a big scam will come

It seems that the Govt. of Odisha is hell bent on “not to prepare Guidelines for Cable TV Networks”. As such Guidelines will benefit the consumers with competition among Cable Operators in Odisha and improvement in quality and Technology.
The formation of new/revised Guidelines will also generate revenue for the Electricity Distribution Companies…… but is the Govt. of Odisha really interested to generate such revenue…. is the Govt. of Odisha really serious about the Cable TV Consumers of the state…….. Is the Govt. of Odisha really serious about generating scope for competition…… NOOOO Govt. of Odisha is only interested to protect the interests of Ortel Communications so that monopoly can exist…… Ortel can make more money and Customers to bleed more money…..
The Govt. of Odisha has taken all steps to ensure that they are not bothered about what the High Court Judgment directs & do not care such judgments and they are least bothered about what the citizens of the state want..
