LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) has suspended Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority’s (PEMRA) decision of fining Neo TV one million rupees, reported Dunya News.
PEMRA had fined Neo TV after it aired the alleged wrong news of Gulberg blast.
Neo TV challenged PEMRA’s decision in LHC through Advocate Saad Rasool. Neo TV’s lawyer presented his stance in front of Justice Aminuddin and said PEMRA had not fulfilled all the regulations and gave its verdict unlawfully.
The court accepted Neo TV’s application and declared to commence proper hearing of this case.
Furthermore, it suspended PEMRA’s decision of fining the channel and demanded explanation in four weeks.
