Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the cancellation of permission under Rule 11C of the Cable Television Network (Amendment) Rules, 2012. The Court found that the cancellation was justified as the appellant failed to obtain the necessary security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs, which was a mandatory requirement under Rule 11C(1). Consequently, the Court affirmed the legality of the cancellation order dated 03.09.2014.
