The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a notice to the central government asking it to produce the material based on which it refused to renew the broadcasting licence of Malayalam news channel MediaOne, Bar and Bench reported.
The channel had gone off air on January 31 after the ministry of information and broadcasting refused to renew its licence due to “security reasons”. The Kerala high court, on March 2, dismissed MediaOne’s appeal against a single judge order that upheld the ban.
