The Delhi HC restrained private TV news channels 'Aaj Tak' and Headlines Today from telecasting entertainment footage like cheer girls in action.

The Delhi High Court restrained private television news channels ‘Aaj Tak’ and Headlines Today from telecasting entertainment footage like cheer girls in action during the IPL matches starting on Saturday in South Africa.

The court in an interim order allowed the two channels to telecast three-and-a-half minute of deferred live visuals of a match but restrained it from using the entertainment footage.

The official broadcaster of IPL Sony Entertainment and the news channels came to an agreement on using the deferred clips of a match in the first 10 days of the league.

“Defendant (the news channels) would have permission of telecasting three-a-and half minute for the cricket match… but would not be entitled to use any entertainment footage,” Justice S N Aggarwal.

Senior Advocate AS Chandiok,appearing for Sony Entertainment,pleaded that such an arrangement should be binding on all news organisations.

But the court turned down the contention as other news organisations were not made party in the case by the Sony group.

The court modified its previous order in which it had,on April 1,restrained the channel from broadcasting footage of a match beyond 30 seconds without permission of MSM Satellite (Singapore) PTE Ltd,a part of Sony Entertainment,which has got the telecast rights for these matches.
