In Brief

This order addresses the application of an earlier AGR (Adjusted Gross Revenue) judgment to Public Sector Undertakings. The Court found that the AGR judgment, which interpreted revenue definitions in commercial telecom licenses (UASL, ISP), cannot be blindly applied to PSUs holding different licenses (NLD, IP-II) with materially different revenue clauses. Since PSUs operate under distinct license agreements and are not commercial mobile service providers, demands against them must be reconsidered. The Court directed the Department of Telecom to re-examine the demands within three days and directed telecom service providers to file proposals for securing payment amounts.
