However, as per Section 3 of the Act, Star India &amp; ESPN are obliged to share the live broadcasting signals of sporting events of national importance with the Prasar Bharati for retransmission of the same through its terrestrial and Direct-to-Home networks. They had challenged the retelecast of the signals shared with Prasar Bharati by Cable Operators to millions of other viewers, who may not necessarily be linked to the Prasar Bharati\u2019s terrestrial and DTH networks but are subscribers of such cable operators or other DTH service providers. The cable operators, on the other hand, argued that Section 3 of the Act had to be read with Section 8 of the Cable Act, 1995 that imposes an obligation on the Cable Operators to carry\/transmit such Doordarshan (Prasar Bharathi) channels or the channels operated by or on behalf of Parliament, as may be, notified in the Official Gazette.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court held that in Section 3 of the Act, there is no recognition of the requirement stipulated in Section 8 of the Cable Act, 1995 and the plain language of the said provision i.e. Section 3of the Sports Act, 2007 makes it clear that the obligation to share cast on the content rightsowner or holder, etc. with Prasar Bharati is to enable the Prasar Bharati to transmit the same on \u201cits terrestrial and DTH networks\u201d. If the legislative intent was to allow Section 3 of the Sports Act, 2007 not to operate on its own language but to be controlled by Section 8 of the Cable Act, 1995, there would have been some manifestation of such intent either in Section 3 of the Sports Act, 2007 or in Section 8 of the Cable Act, 1995. It was held that in the absence of any such legislative intent it will only be correct to hold that Section 3 of the Sports Act, 2007 operates on its own without being controlled by any of the conditions or stipulations contained in Section 8 of the Cable Act, 1995. Any other view may have the effect of introducing a fragility in Section 8 of the Cable Act, a consequence that must surely be avoided. [Union\u00a0of\u00a0India v.
