New Delhi: Telecom
firms whose licences were revoked last year must stop operations
immediately unless they get permits in the new auction, the
Supreme Court said Friday.
The apex court also directed the successful bidders of the
November 2G spectrum auction to immediately start their operations
in their respective circles.
In February last year, the Supreme Court had cancelled 122 permits
of second generation (2G) airwaves held by eight firms, including
Idea Cellular, Tata Teleservices, Telenor and Sistema Shyam
TeleServices.
Sistema Shyam TeleServices Ltd (SSTL), a unit of Russia's Sistema,
said the Supreme Court would issue a separate order on its case.
"A separate order would be issued by the honourable Supreme Court
with respect to SSTL," Sistema Shyam TeleServices Ltd said in a
statement without giving further details.
Following the Supreme Court's order, SSTL is set to lose all but
one permit to operate. However, it has the option to participate
in the auction for 2G licences which is scheduled in March this
year.
Other telecom operators like Idea Cellular and Telenor, whose
permits were revoked by the Supreme Court in a Feb 2, 2012
judgment, successfully participated in the November auction and
have secured fresh permits to operate.
SSTL did not participate in the November auction.
