C.A. No. 8129/2022
MADHYAMAM BROADCASTING LIMITED VS UNION OF INDIA
The Supreme Court held that MIB’s order revoking MBL’s permission for uplinking and downlinking Media One was unconstitutional. The judgement of the Court was authored by Chief Justice Chandrachud.The Supreme Court held that MBL’s right to a fair hearing has been infringed because: (i) MIB’s order revoking Media One’s license did not contain any reasons for denial of security clearance and (ii) the Union’s reasons were not disclosed to MBL and were only disclosed to the Court. The Supreme Court further held that the non-renewal of permission to operate a media channel is a restriction on the freedom of the press which can only be reasonably restricted on the grounds stipulated in Article 19(2) of the Constitution. The Supreme Court held that Media One’s alleged anti-establishment stance and the alleged link of the shareholders of the channel to JEI-H are not legitimate reasons to restrict the right of freedom of speech. The Court directed MIB to proceed with the issuing of renewal permissions in accordance with the Court’s judgment within four weeks.
