Why the restriction on news on private FM stations? SC asks govt

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 17 Oktober 2013 | 17.34

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Centre on a PIL challenging the restriction on private FM and community radio stations to broadcast news.

Before issuing the notice, a bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam and Justice Ranjan Gogoi said radio is poor man's information box and it would like to examine the legality of restrictions.

Agreeing to hear the PIL filed by NGO Common Cause, the bench raised questions on why the government had a problem in allowing private radio stations to broadcast news when it is already being permitted in television.

"You rightly mentioned that radio is accessible to everybody. There is no problem in case of TV channels," the bench said, asking the government to respond on why private radio stations be not allowed to broadcast news.

Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the NGO, pleaded that like television channels, radio stations be allowed to broadcast news as this medium is far more accessible to people and radio stations can be set up without much investment.

The bench after hearing his arguments issued notice to the Centre.
