The Karnataka High Court today ordered issue of emergent notices to Multi-System Operators and nodal officers in Bangalore on a plea seeking extension of the March 31 deadline for installing Set Top Boxes.
Justice Abdul Nazeer's order came on a petition filed by Mysore District Cable Operators' Association which has sought more time to go digital.
The petitioner submitted that they would appear before the court on April 1 and prayed for a direction to the Central government not to switch off the analog channels from the night of March 31.
In the wake of this, the court then stated that it would take a call on the matter on April 1.
The court yesterday had sought information from the Central government on whether the March 31 deadline for installation of Set Top Boxes could be extended.
