In the petition RCV alleged that despite furnishing information regarding list of its cable operators and other details, Channel Plus was not giving signals of Sun TV.
They further alleged that Channel Plus neither responded to their request for joint survey of localities or to negotiate over subscriber base and number of cable operators.
RCV also alleged that that since the Maran brothers-owned MSO, SCV was a single operator in Madurai area and they wanted to retain their monopoly in the area.
"Their purpose is very clear. They just want to retain their monopoly of Sun Channels in the area," submitted RCV's counsel.
