2015 (2) TMI 1357 - HC - Indian LawsRejection of application for grant of land line connection - rejected on the ground that the area is not feasible - HELD THAT:- The petitioner is running an Educational Institution, said to be an International School with 650 students. For the safety of the students, the land line connection is essential and the respondent organisation being the limb of the Government should extend all supports to enable persons more particularly Schools and Educational Institutions to take land line connections. The petitioner being International School should bear the cost of cable connection charges. Therefore, the respondent should approach the matter in a pragmatic way so that they can extend the land line connection to the said Educational Institution at the earliest. Further, the reference to clause 7 B of Indian Telegraph Act by the respondent, that the petitioner has to refer to Arbitration, is thoroughly misconceived, as section 7 B of the Act would be permitted only in case of dispute between the subscriber and the BSNL/service provider. In the instant case, the connection is yet to be provided and no agreement has been entered and therefore the petitioner need not be driven to refer to arbitration proceedings. The matter is remanded to the respondent for fresh consideration - Petition allowed by way of remand.
