The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a plea against the Kerala high court’s decision to uphold the central government’s non-renewal of the broadcasting licence granted to Malayalam television channel MediaOne, the Hindu reported. The petition has been listed for hearing on March 10.
Senior advocate Dushyant Dave mentioned the appeal before Chief Justice of India N V Ramana for an urgent listing. Dave said that the case was “too serious” to be heard late as it concerned the “right to information and freedom of press”.
