Will Sakshi get respite from the court?

Hyderabad High Court today took in to the consideration the petition filed by Sakshi Editorial director, K. Ramachandra Murthy regarding the ban on Sakshi transmission in some areas of Andhra Pradesh. The court asked the government why it did not give prior notice to the channel before stopping the relay, which is mandatory according to Section 19 of Cable Act.

The government counsel explained the court how Sakshi crossed the line and tried to create Caste rifts in the state using Mudhragada Deeksha issue. The court asked the government to file a detailed counter on the issue and posted the next hearing of the case to coming Tuesday. The government is planning to ban the channel till Mudhragada finishes his Deeksha.

By the time, the case comes to hearing, the ban may be lifted as there is good progress in the talks between Kapu JAC and the government. Mudhragada Padmanabham already started to allow treatment and Rajamahendravaram doctors are administering IV fluids to the Kapu strongman.
