Rohatgi informs NBF is the largest body of channels in India, having majority of regional channels as its members. He adds NBF wants to put its views forth on regulations relating to TV channels. Former CJI KS Khehar has agreed to be a part of the NBF's self-regulatory body.

Adv Sai Deepak J mentions applications on behalf of @OpIndia_com, @indiccollective & Upword Foundn.

The application contends #SupremeCourt doesn't have jurisdiction to frame guidelines. He adds there are over 1000 reports how media has been reporting about religious issues.

BREAKING: OPIndia, Indic Collective Trust and Upword Foundation seek to intervene in the @SudarshanNewsTV case in SC. Asks whether its constitutionally permissible for SC to judicially legislate a new species of impermissible speech,
namely Hate Speech? @OpIndia_com @jsaideepak

Plea says assuming the authority finds nothing objectionable with the content under the applicable law, does any statute or the Constitution itself permit Constitutional Courts to step into the shoes of the State to restrain the broadcast of such content? #SupremeCourt

In the backdrop of the #UPSC_Jihad case, "neither morals nor laws can or must be laid down in vacuum. After all, they do not operate in vacuum and must, therefore, be informed
by experience."

#SudarshanNews matter commences in the #SupremeCourt with sr adv Sanjay Hegde making an appearance for #ZakatFoundation. He says this is a non-sectarian group, doing social works.

Hegde says #ZakatFoundation is above board, doesn't conduct residential programmes.

Justice DY Chandrachud asks Hegde to take a call whether they want to officially intervene: "We will allow that..more the merrier. But you first decide."

Hegde seeks time till Monday.

Sr adv Shyam Divan starts arguing for #SudarshanNews & @SureshChavhanke.

Divan says the interim decision to ban the telecast may not be the wisest decision by a constitutional court that is expected to give widest amplitude to the right of free speech.

@utkarsh_aanand

#SudarshanTV matter gets adjourned for tomorrow for detailed arguments.

The channel will principally argue on lifting the injunction order against telecast of its show.

While adjourning the matter, SC observes channels use air waves, which is a public property & hence liable to restrictions under Article 19 (2).

Press Council of India agrees with this view, saying use of air waves makes broadcasters complete liable.

The petitioner's lawyer Anoop G Chaudhary submits he wants to press for a contempt against #SudarshanNews editor @SureshChavhanke for a "contemptuous" tweet against this court.

Chandrachud J: If he has said something silly, we will ignore it.

#SupremeCourt is hearing a petition against @SudarshanNewsTV show on entry of #Muslims in civil services. The show has already been aired after channel assured Min of Info & Broadcasting that it doesnt violate any law.

But SC is clearly irked at the very foundation of the show.

Justices DY Chandrachud and KM Joseph have termed such a show as "insidious" & "rabid" since it tends to target one particular community sitting for UPSC exams.

"Can this be tolerated?" judges ask SG Tushar Mehta.

"Your client is doing a disservice to the nation and is not accepting that India is a melting point of diverse culture. Your client needs to exercise his freedom with caution," SC tells sr adv Shyam Divan, who appears for #SudarshanNews & sought time to file a formal reply.

@pandeypoonam20 Hello, just FYI reg current #UPSC_Jihad issue, for 3 yrs,I being a Hindu Activist/panelist on national news channels hv bn raising issue of doubling of minority % in central govt jobs in Ist 3 yrs of Modi 1.0 #SudarshanNews

@pandeypoonam20 Even in my debates on Sudarshan news, I raised this issue, my Fb is full of posts & videos in it, bt I don't blame Muslims for it, Modi govt itself hs created atmosphere for it & crossed all levels of minority appeasement by implementing Sachchar committee report
