Lahore High Court (LHC) has suspended the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) orders and directed PEMRA to restore the license of private TV Channel -24 News HD.<\/p>\n

Justice Sajid Mehmood Sethi of Lahore High Court (LHC) took up for hearing a petition filed by City News Network against PEMRA on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

City News Network (CNN) had made federal government and PEMRA respondents in their petition.<\/p>\n

The CNN took the plea that PEMRA suspended their license without hearing their stance which is illegal.<\/p>\n

Counsel for PEMRA opposed the petition filed by CNN saying the petition is not maintainable in LHC.<\/p>\n

The counsel for PEMRA said that action against channel-24 news has been taken in Islamabad. CNN should have resorted to Islamabad High Court.<\/p>\n

Justice Sajid Mehmood while ordering the restoration of 24 News HD license rejected PEMRA stay order plea.<\/p>\n

The court while issuing notices to federal government and PEMRA has sought reply from them.<\/p>\n
