 Sub : Illegal use of marine communication sets in Gujarat

Sir,

Wireless adviser to the Government of India has directed as follows for all concerned by
his letter No. R-1101/7/84-LR dated 8.6.1984 addressed to the Monitoring Station,
Ahmedabad :
―Possession of wireless communication equipment fitted on board condemned ships
bought by various parties for converting it into scrap is to be dealt under the `Indian
Wireless Telegraphy (Possession) Rules1965‘. These rules are administered by the P & T
Department.
The rule 3 of the said rules provides that no person shall possess a wireless telegraphy
apparatus except under and in accordance with a license issued under these rules. The
sub-rule (2) of the said rules further provides that no person shall sell, hire or otherwise
transfer a complete wireless set to any person who is not in a possession of a valid
license issued in his name either under these rules or under the Indian Telegraph Act,
1985.
From the above, it can be seen that the person who buys a condemned ship and which
is fitted with wireless telegraph apparatus is to obtain in the first instance a possession
license from P & T Department and subsequently to comply with sub-rule (2) as
mentioned above.
Attention of ship owners is drawn to rule 3(2) and of all other as applicable as otherwise
it is an offence for non-compliance with the provision.

                                                                      Yours faithfully,
                                                                            Sd/- x x x
