Only Geo Super can air World Cup
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has declared that only Geo Super has exclusive rights for showing the Cricket World Cup matches on cable and the Pakistan Television has the rights of showing the mega event only on antenna. The Registrar Supreme Court will monitor the complaints.
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court, headed by chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, heard the Geo Super petition against the PTV and the PEMRA.
The PEMRA’s lawyer gave a written assurance that no channel would show the satellite transmission of the World Cup matches.
The PTV is showing the World Cup matches through terrestrial antenna.
The license will be cancelled if any satellite channel or cable operator violates the court order.
The Court, adjourning the hearing of the case for an indefinite period, ordered that Geo Super would lodge its complaint to the PEMRA in case of any violation of the SC Order of January 24 and the PEMRA Letter of December 22 and the PEMRA immediately resolving the complaint would also inform the Registrar Supreme Court who would monitor it.
If any injustice is done with any one then the case may again be heard on an appeal.
The Chief Justice addressing the acting chairman PEMRA ordered to fulfill his commitment.
Meanwhile, the ESPN also said that the PTV cannot show the terrestrial signals on cable.
