Justice SR Krishna Kumar passed the interim order on June 25 after arriving at a prima facie finding that their licence to broadcast content on the news channel has not been renewed.
The Court also noted that the Central government had already issued a show cause notice to Power Smart Media Private Limited (which operates Power TV) on February 9 this year about the purported failure to renew its licence, and that proceedings in relation to the same were presently pending.
“It would be just and appropriate to direct respondent No.3 (Power Smart Media) / respondent No.5 (Mitcoin) and other private respondents (Directors of Power Smart Media and Mitcoin) not to continue with any broadcast and restrain all the private respondents from carrying on any broadcast activity till the next date of hearing,” the Court proceeded to order.
