The HC had reserved the judgement on March 7, 2023, which was pronounced earlier today.
In February, three leading broadcasters, Disney Star, Zee Entertainment Enterprises and Sony Pictures Networks India Ltd, stopped providing feed to cable operators which have not signed fresh agreements with increased prices under the New Tariff Order (NTO) 3.0.

The NTO had come into force in February 2023.
Earlier, the broadcasters had issued notices on February 15 to cable operators/ multi system operators to sign the new RIO for New Tariff Order.
However, members of AIDCF declined to sign, following which broadcaster had disconnected their signals.
