‘Centre to decide on broadcast by Power TV within six weeks’: Karnataka High Court

The Karnataka High Court said it is up to the Centre to decide on the broadcast by Kannada television channel Power TV, while an interim order of the High Court restricting such broadcasts will remain in place.

These directions were made by a division bench of the Karnataka High Court on Wednesday consisting of Chief Justice N V Anjaria and Justice K V Aravind on Wednesday.

Earlier, a single judge bench consisting of Justice S R Krishna Kumar had held that Power TV does not have the requisite licence from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for news transmission.
