“Fora below have dismissed the complaint filed by the petitioner relying upon the judgment of Supreme Court in General Manager Telecom Vs. M.Krishnan & Another – (2009) 8 SCC 481 wherein it has been held that any dispute between the subscriber and the telegraph authority can be resolved by taking recourse to arbitration proceedings only.
The judgment of the Supreme Court is binding on all the subordinate courts. There is no scope for interference. Dismissed.”
It is also worth nothing that then Prakash Verma filed a Special Leave Petition to Appeal No.24577 of 2010 in the Hon’ble Supreme Court and Hon’ble Supreme Court vide an order dated 1.10.2010 dismissed that Special Leave Petition. In this view of the matter, any dispute between the subscriber and the telegraph authority can be resolved by taking recourse to arbitration proceedings only.
