New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday sought a response from the centre and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on a plea by telecom operators for a stay on TRAI's compensation policy for call drops, under which a rupee will be credited to the mobile users' account for every call drop (restricted to three per day) starting January 2016.

A division bench of Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath asked Centre and TRAI to file their response by December 22 on the plea of two telecom industry bodies, Cellular Operators Association of India and Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India.
