Nimbus challenges ordinance

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Nimbus Communications Limited, owner of Neo Sports, on Friday challenged the Sports Broadcasting (Mandatory Sharing with Prasar Bharati) Ordinance 2007 in the Delhi High Court.

The February 2 ordinance makes it mandatory for rights holders of sporting events to share advertisement-free live telecast signals with all platforms of Prasar Bharati on a revenue-sharing basis.

A Division Bench comprising Justices M.K. Sharma and Sanjiv Khanna posted the petition for Monday.

Counsel for Nimbus said the ordinance transgressed constitutional limits and violated the fundamental rights of the petitioner. The Bench refused to give immediate relief to Prasar Bharati on the issue of seven-minute delayed telecast of the ongoing India-Sri Lanka series on Doordarshan.
