Star Sports India Pvt Ltd vs Prasar Bharti & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the obligations of a Television Broadcasting Organisation under the Sports Broadcasting Signals (Mandatory Sharing with Prasar Bharati) Act, 2007, specifically Section 3(1), which mandates sharing live broadcasts of national sporting events without advertisements. The Court held that while the broadcaster must share the world feed, it is not required to remove On-Screen Credits inserted by event organizers, as these are not considered advertisements under the Act. The High Court's ruling favoring Prasar Bharati was overturned, affirming the broadcaster's position regarding the nature of shared content.
