New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday will hear a petition filed by Media One seeking action against the Central government for banning its broadcast on MediaOne. Senior advocate Dushyant Dave brought the matter to the notice of the Supreme Court.
In the petition, MediaOne sought quashing the High Court order. The petition alleges that the channel’s license was unilaterally revoked and that the action violated fundamental rights.
Media One Channel approached the Supreme Court after the Kerala High Court division bench also took a negative stance. The Central Government had informed the High Court that the ban on the channel was due to national security concerns.
