The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday lifted a ban imposed by PEMRA on the airing of Indian teleplays, declaring it null and void as the federal government had no objections regarding the same.

Pemra had issued a notification imposing a blanket ban on all Indian content on Oct 19, 2016, after relations between Pakistan and India soured after Uri Attack last year.

M/s Leo Communications, TV channel Filmazia's parent organisation, sought to overturn the ban as it had not been imposed by the Government of Pakistan.
