Barrister Huq expects govt green signal for JTV operation
Sunday, 23 May 2010
Barrister Rafique-ul Huq, the counsel for the private satellite television channel Jamuna (JTV), now shut down, has expressed the hope that the Information Ministry would give green signal to its pending application that sought fresh no objection certificate (NOC) for resuming the JTV's operation, reports UNB.
Barrister Huq made the remark at a press conference at the Jatiya Press Club in the city Saturday following the High Court (HC) judgment on the legal dispute over JTV's transmission.
On Thursday, the HC disposed of the rule seemingly putting the last nail in the coffin of short-lived JTV.
Disposing of the rule, the HC directed the Information Ministry to resolve the pending application filed on October 10 last year by the JTV management seeking a fresh NOC for resuming its test transmission.
Referring to the HC judgment on the JTV, Barrister Huq said that both the print and the audio-visual media misled the news about the HC judgment.
"The HC in its judgment did not declare valid or illegal the impugned actions of the BTRC and the government, which were challenged," Barrister Huq said.
He also said that the HC disposed of the rule with a direction towards the Information Ministry to resolve expeditiously the pending JTV petition that sought fresh NOC.
