Delhi Court asks MHA: Why was India's Daughter banned?

March 18, 2015 12:16

JUST IN: Delhi High Court asks MHA to give complete record of why advisory banning India's Daughter was issued. The Court said it would consider the PIL to lift ban.

The Information and Broadcasting Ministry had issued an advisory to all television channels to not broadcast the documentary on the Delhi gang-rape victim.

The Delhi High Court last week refused to lift the ban to broadcast the documentary on the December 16, 2012 gang-rape incident. The PIL filed by lawyer Vibhor Anand sought lifting of the ban on the telecast of the documentary.

The court has made two observations - the ban on documentary is not illegal as it is applicable for the state to impose a ban in exceptional cases. The ban cannot be lifted as the case is still going on in Supreme Court and airing it may influence the judicial process.
