HC refuses to interfere with ban on gangrape documentary

August 05, 2016 17:17

Delhi High Court today refused to interfere with the ban on a controversial BBC documentary, 'India's Daughter' on the December 16 gang-rape case, saying the issue of its telecast was pending before the trial court which was competent to deal with it.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath also did not go into the validity of an advisory issued by the Centre against telecast of the short film, saying that it was only an advice to private TV channels and the documentary was not shown because of the restraint order of the trial court.
