LIVE UPDATES- MediaOne Channel's Plea Challenging Centre's Telecast Ban: Supreme Court Hearing

Live Law

The Supreme Court shall hear today the special leave petition filed by Malayalam news channel MediaOne against the judgment of the Kerala High Court which upheld the Centre's decision to not renew its telecast license citing national security grounds. MediaOne approached the Supreme Court on March 2, hours after a division bench of the Kerala High Court upheld the recent ban imposed on it by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The channel contended that the exact reasons for the Centre's non-renewal of the license have not been revealed to them and the Court approved the decision on the basis of certain sealed cover files produced by the Ministry of Home Affairs, purportedly raising some national security concerns. Rohatgi took serious objection to the High Court Division Bench calling for the files in sealed cover after the judgment was reserved.
