The Bombay High Court on Monday extended the Color channel’s stay on the Information and Broadcasting ministry’s directive on shifting the show to 11 p.m.
The stay was extended till December 3 after the Union government sought time to file their reply to the petition filed by Viacom 18, owners of the channel Colors, challenging the directive issued to it to reschedule the show after prime time.
The directive to shift the show from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. was made after the Ministry said that the content of the programme was not fit to be watched by children and was not fit for “unrestrained public exhibition”.
Viacom 18 had, however, challenged this saying that there was “nothing objectionable” in the show and that the Ministry’s order did not specify which episode or part of the episode “offends decency and good taste”.
