[Media Trial In Sushant Singh Rajput Case]Live-Updates From Bombay HC

Datar says that a person who is aggrieved by reportage of a broadcaster, regime gives this person power to make a complaint to the ministry which is forwarded to us. Secondly, they can approach us directly. Lastly, they can approach the court.

Datar says that the policy of self-regulation is invoked and continues till today & that the NBSA is found to be the correct method for regulating broadcasters.

Court says that they have seen the policy guidelines of Uplinking in the petition.

Every company is required to comply with the program code, court says

Senior Advocate Devadutt Kamat tells the Court that the broadcasters submit an affidavit based on a form which is an undertaking on the basis of which a licence is granted to the broadcaster.

Court asks whether there is any registration process which is followed in the Act.

Bhambhani says that there is nothing in the Act except when they follow the procedure as per uplinking & downlinking rules.

Datar says that there are non-statutory guidelines present already - by the name of Programme Code which is stipulated in Rule 6 specifically.

In the Sudarshan TV case Delhi HC did not grant injunction.

4 episodes were aired and SC was moved. It is important to understand that administration of justice is interpreted as the situation requires, says Datar

"Media trial cannot escape just because an organisation is not a part of the NBSA. My lords powers are very wide and its scope starts the moment a crime is registered," says Datar

"Power of court starts even before the investigation of the case begins. Such is the wide ambit of My Lords powers" says Datar

Datar now refers to Naveen Jindal Vs. Zee TV & the Manu Sharma Case.
