Sr adv Huzefa Ahmadi, for the contempt applicant, points out the complaint is that they aren't responding to representations being filed against continued suspension of 4G services, orders aren't being published so how can one challenge it before a court.
AG KK Venugopa says no contempt is made out since the committee is already formed & orders of suspension are issued after due application of mind.
