The High Court of Karnataka on Friday told the State Advocate-General to instruct the police not to take any precipitative action till September 20 against Aaj Tak Hindi news channel or its consulting editor Sudhir Choudhary based on the First Information Report (FIR) registered against them for allegedly spreading enmity between religions and groups through a programme telecast recently by giving ‘misinformation’ on the State government‘s subsidy scheme for minority communities.

Justice Hemant Chandangoudar passed the interim order on the petitions filed by New Delhi-based Mr. Choudhary, Aaj Tak news channel, and TV Today Networks Ltd., which owns the news channel.
