DD To Share WC Live Telecast With Cable Operators: SC

The apex court bench, headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi, said the Delhi High Court judgment will remain stayed till the next hearing Feb 17 when it will take up the matter to pass interim orders.

Senior counsel P. Chidambaram, appearing for Star TV, told the court that after seven long years the high court passed an order in his client's favour and expected the balance of equity to remain in their favour so that the cricket matches are not aired on television freely.

He said his client has several proposals for consideration by the court.

The Delhi Court had barred Doordarshan from sharing the World Cup live feed with cable operators, but declined the plea to quash Prasar Bharti's 2000 notification making it mandatory for cable operators to carry DD National and DD News channels.
