The Kerala High Court on Wednesday directed the Centre to make available the files relating to the revocation of the broadcasting licence of MediaOne TV channel by February 7.
Justice N. Nagaresh, while passing the order, also extended till February 7 its interim order deferring the implementation of the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting's order revoking the licence of the channel.
When a petition filed by Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited, Kozhikode, which owns the channel, came up for hearing, S. Sreekumar, senior counsel for the company, argued that the order was illegal and violative of the freedom of speech guaranteed under the Constitution.
